- Accounting for spatial specificities improves biomass estimates
Passive microwave radiometers, such as SMOS, measure the Earth’s natural microwave emissions. As this radiation travels upwards, the soil emission… Read more: Accounting for spatial specificities improves biomass estimates - L-Band radiometry for Earth’s Essential Climate Variables
