Abstract
ABSTRACT This study estimates the surface soil moisture content in a case study situated in the Vietnamese Red River Delta, using the Landsat 8 satellite images. The trapezoidal relationship between land surface temperature and vegetation index was used to obtain soil wetness indexes. A split-window algorithm was developed to overcome the missing of atmospheric data. The method was validated with ground truth across different land covers. The RMSE between the calculated and measured SMC ranges between 0.556 and 0.971 and varies across different types of land covers. The method is important to monitor SMC across large areas with limited surveyed data.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Spatial Science publishes papers broadly across the spatial sciences including such areas as cartography, geodesy, geographic information science, hydrography, digital image analysis and photogrammetry, remote sensing, surveying and related areas. Two types of papers are published by he journal: Research Papers and Professional Papers.
Research Papers (including reviews) are peer-reviewed and must meet a minimum standard of making a contribution to the knowledge base of an area of the spatial sciences. This can be achieved through the empirical or theoretical contribution to knowledge that produces significant new outcomes.
It is anticipated that Professional Papers will be written by industry practitioners. Professional Papers describe innovative aspects of professional practise and applications that advance the development of the spatial industry.
