SMAP AP Algorithm Adaptation
Heritage
Requires change due to following developments:
a) Estimate new parameters for C-Band and multi-angular
b) Computing parameters using time-series regression is not possible due to low revisit interval of Sentinel and time mismatch of swath overlap of SMAP and Sentinel
c) The Active-Passive Algorithm is modified to accommodate the snapshot and work in the emissivity space, as shown below.

Data Driven Beta Retrievals
-- Retrieved Beta from the Radiometer and Radar Data
-- Brightness Temperature of Radiometer (K)-- Surface Temperature (K)-- Vegetation Opacity parameter-- Albedo-- SAR co-pol data-- SAR x-pol data-- Parameter derived from SAR co-pol and x-pol data
The physically-based retrieval procedure of β accounts for the effects of vegetation/roughness on emission as well as on backscatter.
This approach does not require time series.

Conclusions
• Comparisons with available airborne field experiment (SMAPEx) shows that L2_SM_SP does positively use Sentinel-1 information to provide high-resolution brightness temperature.
• Minimum Performance (in TB and soil moisture) confirm conclusions about impact of Sentinel information on soil moisture retrievals.
• Core Site comparisons at 3 km and 9 km are severely limited in number of sites and temporal samples at each site. They nonetheless show that the L2_SM_SP performs to target accuracy of the original L1 requirement.
• More spatial resolution (with respect to L2/3_SM_P_E) comes in a trade-off with accuracy. Utility is dependent on the application needs.
• SMAP-Sentinel Active-Passive Product (L2_SM_SP) is ready for Beta Release in couple of months.
