Abstract

Regarding the passive microwave remote sensing, microwave emissivity ( e ) of artificially
Stalinized and moistened, smooth and bare soilsurface have been estimated by Emissivity Model
using experimentally determined complex permittivity of soil and at a fix view angle 30 0 as input
parameters. Salinity decreases themicrowave emissivity of soil marginally. In case of dry soil
salinity produces hardly any effect on the emission behaviour of soil.
