Abstract

NASA's Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) mission launched on January 31, 2015 into a sun-synchronous 6 am/6 pm orbit with an objective to produce global mapping of high-resolution soil moisture and freeze-thaw state every 2–3 days. The SMAP radiometer began acquiring routine science data on March 31, 2015 and continues to operate nominally. SMAP's radiometer-derived standard soil moisture product (L2SMP) provides soil moisture estimates posted on a 36-km fixed Earth grid using brightness temperature observations and ancillary data. A beta quality version of L2SMP was released to the public in October, 2015, Version 3 validated L2SMP soil moisture data were released in May, 2016, and Version 4 L2SMP data were released in December, 2016. Version 4 data are processed using the same soil moisture retrieval algorithms as previous versions, but now include retrieved soil moisture from both the 6 am descending orbits and the 6 pm ascending orbits. Validation of 19 months of the standard L2SMP product was done for both AM and PM retrievals using in situ measurements from global core cal/val sites. Accuracy of the soil moisture retrievals averaged over the core sites showed that SMAP accuracy requirements are being met.

SMAP被动土壤水分标准产品第4版的评估

NASA的土壤湿度主被动(SMAP)任务于2015年1月31日发射，进入与太阳同步的早上6点/下午6点轨道，目标是每2-3天生成高分辨率的全球土壤湿度和冻融状态地图。SMAP辐射计于2015年3月31日开始获取常规科学数据，并继续名义上运行。SMAP的辐射计衍生的标准土壤湿度产品(L2SMP)利用亮度温度观测和辅助数据，在36公里的固定地球网格上提供土壤湿度估计。2015年10月发布了L2SMP的beta质量版本，2016年5月发布了第3版验证的L2SMP土壤湿度数据，2016年12月发布了第4版L2SMP数据。版本4数据使用与以前版本相同的土壤湿度检索算法进行处理，但现在包括从上午6点下降轨道和下午6点上升轨道检索的土壤湿度。对19个月的标准L2SMP产品进行了验证，使用全球核心cal/val站点的原位测量进行AM和PM检索。核心站点土壤水分反演的平均精度表明，SMAP精度基本满足要求。
