The Alabama A & M University Center for Hydrology, Soil Climatology, and Remote Sensing (HSCaRS) and the NASA's National Space Science and Technology Center (NSSTC) Global Hydrology and Climate Center (GHCC) have been involved with the Alabama portion of the Soil Moisture Experiment 2003 (SMEX '03). The Huntsville, Alabama, activities serve to ground truth the microwave remote sensors on the NASA P3B aircraft (NASA's 2D STAR, a.k.a. ESTAR 2D, and NOAA's PSR-CX) and the spaceborne platforms AMSR/AMSR-E, TRMM-TMI, etc. The ground truthing activities included soil sampling (cores, theta probe) and vegitation sampling.
