Error of Moisture Retrieving from the SMOS Radiobrightness with the Use of the Temperature Dependable Soil Dielectric Model

The error induced by the temperature dependable dielectric model used to retrieve the soil moisture from the SMOS radiobrightnesses is statistically evaluated, based on the mea- sured dielectric data. The dielectrical model is tested in conjunction with the dielectric data base covering all soil types and moisture variations in the temperature range from 10 to 40±C
