Evaluation of Soil Moisture Retrievals from a Portable L-Band Microwave Radiometer by Runze Zhang, Abhi Nayak, Derek Houtz, Adam Watts, Elahe Soltanaghai, Mohamad Alipour

“…By comparing PoLRa-based soil moisture retrievals against the simultaneous moisture values obtained by a handheld capacitance probe, the unbiased root mean square error (ubRMSE) and the Pearson correlation coefficient (R) are mostly below 0.05 m³/m³ and above 0.7 for various algorithms adopted here. While SMAP models and the DCA algorithm can derive soil moisture from PoLRa observations, no single algorithm consistently outperforms the others. …”
