ESA's Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission has been launched in November 2009 and delivers now brightness temperature and soil moisture products over terrestrial areas on a regular three day basis. In 2010 several airborne campaigns were conducted to validate the SMOS products with microwave emission radiometers at L-band (1.4 GHz). In this paper we present the activities performed in the Rur and Erft catchment, which is situated in the very west of Germany close to the borders to Belgium and The Netherlands. Measurements of the L-band sensors EMIRAD and HUT-2D on board a Skyvan aircraft as well as ground-based mobile measurements with the JÜLBARA radiometer mounted on a truck are analyzed in a qualitative comparison for different crop stands. These data can be used for validation of the SMOS sensor by giving valuable information about parameters for the radiative transfer modeling. © 2011 IEEE.
