Abstract

An experimental polygon (control-test site) is represented, equipped by a complex of polarimetric, combined, short pulse scatterometer-radiometer systems of S-, K_u-, and K_a-band of frequencies, for bare soil, soil vegetation and land snow cover microwave reflective and emissive characteristics simultaneous and spatially coincident measurements. The polygon equipped as well by facilities for microwave devices absolute calibration, by spatially distributed stations for insitu measurements of soil moisture and temperature, and has a local meaning small weather station. This paper has an aim to attract attentions of researchers interested in such kind measurements and to invite them to perform their own or joint measurements using available facilities.
