This study assesses the suitability of the two-stream microwave emission model in simulating brightness temperature (T-B(p)) and retrieving liquid water content (theta(liq)) at L-band in combination with the four-phase dielectric model for both thawed and frozen soil. Both single (SCA) and double (DCA) channel algorithms are adopted using both ground-based ELBARA-III and spaceborne SMAP measurements conducted in a Tibetan grassland site. The ELBARA-III measured T-B(p) are smaller than the SMAP measurements in the warm season due to a lower value of average theta(liq) presented within the ELBARA-III footprint. The two-stream emission model configured with SMAP vegetation and surface roughness parameterization underestimates both ELBARA-III and SMAP measured T-B(p) at horizontal polarization in the cold season, and overestimates the vertical polarized measurements (T-B(V)) in the warm season. Implementation of a new surface roughness and vegetation parameterization resolves above deficiency, and the simulations capture better large-scale SMAP measurements in comparison to these performed for the ELBARA-III footprint. The dynamics of in situ theta(liq) are better reproduced by retrievals using the SCA based on T-B(V) measurements (SCA-V), whereby the SCA-V retrievals using the SMAP ascending overpass measurements shows the best results with an unbiased root-mean-square error (ubRMSE) of 0.035 m(3) m(-3) that outperforms the SMAP mission specification. |
