Hornbuckle et al., Dew and L-band Backscatter, Implications for SMAP?
Are changes in backscatter over short periods of timeonly due to changes in soil moisture?

Hypothesis: dew affects the brightness temperatureand radar backscatter.
Timing: PALS flies to catch maximum dew and to observe dew dry-off.

Hornbuckle et al., Dew and L-band Backscatter, Implications for SMAP?
Conclusions
A modest dew increased L-band backscatter from soybean (new science).
increased by 0.6 dB. Soil moisture sensitivity is ~ 0.2 dB per m3 m-3.
Dew affects and more than for a soybean canopy.
Sub-daily change in canopy water caused by dew could produce incorrect SMAP change-detection soil moisture estimates.
A semi-empirical soybean model predicts an increase in L-band backscatterbut incorrectly predicts the relative changes.
