Abstract

Land surface temperature (LST) and soil moisture (SM) are two important parameters in land surface ecosystem at regional and global scale. The accurate acquisition of LST and SM can benefit various fields, including agriculture and climate which are closely related to human life. This study proposed a simultaneous retrieval method of LST and SM based on the approximate and correction of passive microwave radiation transfer equation. Compared to LST and SM in simulated database, the accuracy of retrieved LST is approximately 1.63 K and the accuracy of retrieved SM is about 0.063 m <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3</sup> /m <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3</sup> .
