This study developed an algorithm to generate high-spatial-resolution SM during the thawing season using Sentinel-1 (S1) and Sentinel-2 (S2) temporal data in the permafrost environment. This algorithm utilizes the seasonal backscatter differences to reduce the effect of surface roughness and uses the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and the normalized difference moisture index (NDMI) to characterize vegetation contribution. Then, the SM map with a grid spacing of 50 m \u00d7 50 m in the hinterland of the QTP with an area of 505 km \u00d7 246 km was generated. The results were independently validated based on in situ data from active layer monitoring sites. It shows that this algorithm can retrieve SM well in the study area. The coefficient of determination (R2) and root-mean-square error (RMSE) are 0.82 and 0.06 m3\/m3, respectively. This study analyzed the SM distribution of different vegetation types: the alpine swamp meadow had the largest SM of 0.26 m3\/m3, followed by the alpine meadow (0.23), alpine steppe (0.2), and alpine desert (0.16), taking the Tuotuo River basin as an example. We also found a significantly negative correlation between the coefficient of variation (CV) and SM in the permafrost area, and the variability of SM is higher in drier environments and lower in wetter environments. The comparison with ERA5-Land, GLDAS, and ESA CCI showed that the proposed method can provide more spatial details and achieve better performance in permafrost areas on QTP. The results also indicated that the developed algorithm has the potential to be applied in the entire permafrost regions on the QTP.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14235966","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,28]],"date-time":"2022-11-28T07:01:30Z","timestamp":1669618890000},"page":"5966","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Retrieving
