Observations from spaceborne radar contain considerable information about vegetation
dynamics. The ability to extract this information could lead to improved soil moisture …

Seasonal snow cover is the largest single component of the cryosphere in areal extent,
covering an average of 46 million square km of Earth's surface (31% of the land area) each …

Time-series retrievals of soil moisture obtained from the Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite
System (CYGNSS) constellation are presented. The retrieval approach assumes that …

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Soil Moisture Active Passive
(SMAP) satellite is scheduled for launch in January 2015. In order to develop robust soil …

The feasibility of soil moisture retrieval from C-band Sentinel-1 data has been widely
acknowledged, with pre-operational 1-km products currently available at regional and/or …

This study proposes a multi-scale soil moisture algorithm for the upcoming NASA-ISRO SAR
(NISAR) mission to estimate high-resolution (200 [m]) soil moisture (the water content of the …

We propose a new model for estimating subsurface soil moisture using P-band radar data
over barren, shrubland, and vegetated terrains. The unknown soil moisture profile is …

Physical models for radar backscattering coefficients are developed for the global land
surface at L-band (1.26 GHz) and 40° incidence angle to apply to the soil moisture retrieval …

In this paper, we provide updates on our recent work on the theory of microwave remote
sensing for applications in remote sensing of soil moisture and snow water equivalent …

Time series algorithms for soil moisture retrieval from synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data
have steadily increased in popularity over the past decade due to the feasibility of …
