General Description:
To clarify the energy and water cycle in the Tibetan Plateau, it is important to understand the profile of the soil moisture content and surface temperature. The purpose of SMTMS (Soil Moisture and Temperature Measurement System) observation is to monitor these values and develop the land surface process models and satellite-based soil moisture retrieval methods.
