| Abstract: |
| Soil moisture is the most important parameter in hydrology, meteorology as well as in the fields of agricul-tural sciences. This paper proposes that the reflectivity of the 6th and the 7th wave band of MODIS image can be used to monitor soil moisture according to the water absorption rate curve. By detailed comparisons and analysis with temperature vegetation drought index(TVDI), we confim that reflectivity of band 7 of MODIS image covering the desertification area in Mu Us desert of China performs good negative correlations characteristics，close to the relations between MODIS band 7 reflectivity and surface humidity. It is also verified that the reflectivity of band 7 from MODIS image is very effective for large scale soil moisture monitoring in the desertification areas. |
