Estimating Surface Soil Moisture by the Remote Sensing Technique

This paper studies the relationship between surface soil moisture and temperature, the seasonal influences and the transform from NOAA thermal infrared data into surface temperature in theory,and an effectiv remote sensing model is created to estimate surface soil moisture cantinuously.The model is operated simply and spreaded easy, so it has a practicability to monitor soil moisture for large scale areas, because it needs to use daytimezloudless NOAA data only.
