SMAP Vegetation Optical Depth Data in Southwest China (2015-2022)


SMAP (Soil Moisture Active and Passive) is one of the Earth observation satellites of the United States, which has active sensors and passive sensors. The active sensor is an L-band radar, and the passive sensor is an L-band microwave radiometer. The vegetation optical thickness is derived from SMAP Class 1C (L1C) interpolated brightness temperature. Backus Gilbert optimal interpolation technology is used to extract information from SMAP antenna temperature and convert it into brightness temperature. These temperatures are published in the form of global cylindrical projection to 9 km equal product expandable earth grid version 2.0 (EASE Grid 2.0). By 2021, these data will also be released to the Northern Hemisphere EASE Grid 2.0,
