Abstract
A comparative analysis of Western Siberia area images made from the SMOS satellite with a MIRAS radiometer at a frequency of 1.42 GHz at different times is performed. To validate and calibrate the satellite data, ground measurements of physical parameters of the underlying surface were conducted. As a test site, Kulunda Steppe situated in the steppe part of the Altay region was chosen. Using satellite and ground data, water-logging and swamped soils tending to salt and bitter-salt lakes were detected.
