Abstract: Northern Tibet grassland is a sparsely-populated area, remote sensing monitoring soil moisture has broad prospects in this region. This paper utilized filed experiment data to verify FY-3B/MWRI soil moisture product in northern Tibet grassland. The results showed that the average soil moisture and MWRI inversion mean were the closest in autumn, there was only a difference of 0.002 cm3/cm3. The RMSE of measured soil moisture and soil moisture retried from MWRI was 0.067 in spring, the correlation was the best in spring and autumn, with the R2 of 0.4337 and 0.3444. FY-3B/MWRI soil moisture product could be used to monitor soil moisture in northern Tibetan Plateau in spring and autumn.
