This project will use ground measurements to validate the data products from the SMAP satellite by supporting a ground network in Northern Quebec; testing and validating the SMAP data product to monitor the soil Freeze/Thaw state at medium and high resolution over the tundra and the boreal forest in Canada and; develop a hydrothermal model to provide soil moisture and Freeze/Thaw information in high spatial and temporal resolution at a watershed level.
