The basic theory relating microwave emissivity to soil and snow moisture is presented along with data from field and aircraft measurements to support the theory. Data from the ESMR on Nimbus-5 and the S-194 L Band radiometer on Skylab were compared with Antecedent Precipitation indices (APT) to show the sensitivity of spaceborne observations to soil moisture. Similarly, data from the ESMR and SMMR on the Nimbus spacecraft were compared with surface measurements of snow depth with good results.
