Abstract

As the global warming intensifies, the environment changes in cold land receive more attention. In this paper, a combined microwave emission model is established for cold land researches. Through field observation experiment, the b-factor of winter wheat during winter is obtained to simulate radiation accurately from this typical ground object in China. Furthermore, the impacts of snow and vegetation cover on frozen soil radiation are investigated by sensitivity analysis.
