National Aeronautics and Space AdministrationSMAP HandbookSoil Moisture Active PassiveMapping Soil Moisture andFreeze/Thaw from SpaceOn the cover The Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) mission will provide global measurements of soil moisture and its freeze/thaw state from a 685 km, near polar, sun synchronous orbit for a period of 3 years. The SMAP observatory s instrument suite includes a radiometer and a synthetic aperture radar to make coincident measurements of surface emission and backscatter. SMAP data will be used to enhance understanding of processes that link the water, ener gy, and carbon cycles, and to extend the capabilities of weather and climate prediction HandbookSoil Moisture Active PassiveMapping Soil Moisture andFreeze/Thaw from SpaceSMAP HANDBOOK3 ContentsThe researc
Project reports are available on line at the project web-site (smap.jpl.nasa.gov). The Algorithm Theoretical Basis Documents (ATBDs), Ancillary Data reports, Cal/Val Plan, and Applications Plan form a comprehensive set of Project documents that correspond to the sections of the SMAP Handbook.
