The Campaign
The Canadian Experiment was a soil moisture field campaign focused on algorithm development and validation for the Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) and Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) projects. It had two deployments in Saskatchewan, Canada over the boreal summer of 2010. Airborne microwave measurements were taken by the Twin Otter and G-III while ground sampling of intensive soil moisture and vegetation and roughness measurements were taken at two different field sites. The Canadian Experiment (CanEx) was a soil moisture field campaign conducted in Saskatchewan, Canada, during the boreal summer of 2010. Its primary goal was to develop and validate algorithms for the Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) and Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) projects. CanEx involved two deployments, utilizing airborne microwave measurements from the Twin Otter and G-III aircraft. Concurrently, ground sampling was carried out at two distinct field sites, where intensive measurements of soil moisture, vegetation, and roughness were collected.
