| Abstract | To further investigate the potential for remotely sensing soil moisture using the L-band GPS bistatic radar concept, a GPS bistatic radar participated for the first time in airborne measurements during the Soil Moisture Experiment 2002 (SMEX02) in Ames, Iowa. A 12 channel GPS navigation receiver was modified to perform bistatic radar measurements and mounted on the JPL PALS instrument. The reflected GPS signal-to-noise ratio measurements generated a ground track which was sensitive to the surface characteristics. Assuming surface roughness and vegetation cover to be constants over the duration of the study period, the temporal changes in the measured signals were suspected to be proportional to varying soil moisture content. The bistatic signal measurements were interpolated to a UTM grid to produce daily maps of relative change of surface soil moisture over the study region. The maps of the study region showed a transition from very dry surface soil moisture conditions to very wet conditions following precipitation events occurring in the middle of the study period. Additionally, the maps showed sensitivity to localized rainfall in areas without precipitation. The scattered signal measurements were also compared with in situ soil moisture measurements at 32 field sites and found to follow the general soil moisture trend as a function of time. These positive initial results from the first controlled experiment of GPS bistatic radar foe measuring soil moisture were encouraging. Additional analyses with the present data set and comparison with other remote sensing instruments (PALS) are planned as well as participation in future campaigns. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
