Scope of rougness models: Fraunofer-criterion: Bragg-limit: σ < Λ> λ 3cosϑ λ sinϑ Te Air-To-Soil transition model considers te soil surface as a transition layer wit ticness ( = pea-to-pea rougness). Results from Bare-Soil Experiment In tis layer ε increases wit dept due to te factional increase of soil material. Te reflectivity results from a coerent, one-dimensional wave-propagation model. 3

15 Experiment Bare-Soil Results Air-To-Soil transition model for describing te effect of small-scale rougness on te L-band emission. Summary Frozen-Soil Clover-Grass Possibility of monitoring a penetrating frost front into soil by L-band radiometry. Te L-band opacity of a vegetation canopy (clover-grass) is polarization dependent and correlated wit te canopy structure. Forest Te deciduous forest is semi-transparent at L- band. Te influence of te leaves on te transparency of a forest canopy is clearly smaller at L-band tan at X-band. 15
16 Next Experiments: Continuing T B - angular scan wit metal-foil until maximum foliation. Forest transmittances Γ for foliated and defoliated state. Outloo Continuing T B - angular scan witout metal-foil till fall. Observing dry and wet periods for answering te question of te measurability of soil-moisture troug te forest canopy under various conditions. Depending on te output of te previous experiments: Field-scale experiments wit artificially prepared forest soils (litter- or organiclayer, understory-vegetation, rougness ). Tower-experiment above an oter type of forest. Installing te instrument on an oil-platform. Any calibration / validation application for SMOS. 16
