Abstract Unfrozen water and ice co-exist in frozen soil, and their mutual transformation, namely freezing-thawing change, profoundly affects the surface water circulation and energy budget in cold regions. Passive microwave remote sensing technology is the main means of soil water monitoring, but it is mostly applied to the retrieval of water in non-frozen soil, and the retrieval of unfrozen water in frozen soil under negative temperature environment is less. Based on the brightness temperature measurement data obtained from the SMAP satellite ascending and descending overpass and the improved zero-order microwave radiation model applicable to the Tibetan Plateau, using Single-Channel Algorithm (SCA) and Dual-Channel Algorithm (DCA), The content of unfrozen water in the seasonal frozen soil in Maqu region which is the source region of the Yellow River in the east of Tibetan Plateau was inverted. The results show that the in-situ measured values dynamics are better captured by the retrieval values based on the brightness temperature measurement at the different moments of SMAP satellite overpass and different algorithms of soil unfrozen water in the study area(the correlation coefficient R is greater than 0.9). Among them, the retrieval results based on the brightness temperature measurement at the SMAP descending are significantly underestimated in the transition season of freezing-thawing cycle, while the retrieval results based on the brightness temperature measurement at the SMAP ascending are more accurate. The unbiased root-mean-square error (ubRMSE) of the retrieval values which obtained based on the V-polarization Single Channel Algorithm (SCA-V) and DCA and the in-situ values is 0.035 m3m-3 and 0.039 m3m-3, respectively, which are both meet the established requirements of SMAP mission. Compared with SMAP standard products, the soil moisture in warm season obtained by retrieval based on SCA-V algorithm is more accurate in this study. In addition, the algorithm adopted in this study can successfully retrieval the dynamic change of soil unfrozen water during freezing period, so it is more suitable for the retrieval of soil moisture under freezing and thawing conditions in Tibetan Plateau.
