Результаты измерений радиояркостной температуры на территории Бурятиии космическим радиометром SMOS

The results of brightness temperature investigation in Buryatia made with microwave radiometer SMOS/MIRAS are presented. As an example, the points located on water area of Lake Baikal and near the lake are considered. The results obtained in the summer and winter period are presented as well. It is shown that there is a significant discrepancy between theory and experiment for a point on the water area of Lake Baikal, a satisfactory agreement for the point on the ground and a good agreement for the control point located in the equatorial waters. It is concluded that the results obtained with the radiometer are reliable.
