This paper presents an original methodology to retrieve surface soil moisture based on the
use of the ENVISAT-ASAR multi-incidence angle sensor. Previous studies using ERS and …

This paper discusses the effects of vegetation on C-(4.75 GHz) and L-(1.6 GHz) band
backscattering (σo) measured throughout a growth cycle at incidence angles of 15, 35 and …

A time-series algorithm is proposed to retrieve bare surface soil moisture and rms height
using two copolarized (HH and VV) L-band backscattering coefficients (σ 0). The retrieval …

The main objective of this study is to analyze the potential use of L-band radar data for the
estimation of soil moisture over tropical agricultural areas under dense vegetation cover …

Multi-temporal analysis has been widely acknowledged as a promising method to derive soil
moisture from radar backscatter observations. The method assumes that only soil moisture …

Both radar and optical signals are sensitive to the change of surface soil moisture (SSM) and
surface roughness properties (such as root mean squared height-RMSH), and the accuracy …

Multi-angular and multi-temporal methods have been developed and accepted as two
promising strategies for reliable soil moisture retrieval from radar data. However, the way to …

The aim of this paper was to estimate soil moisture in agricultural crop fields from fully
polarimetric L-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data through the polarimetric …

The aim of this paper is to analyze the potential of X-band SAR measurements (COSMO-
SkyMed and TerraSAR-X) made over bare soils for the estimation of soil moisture and …

The coastal zones of the Korean peninsula are well known for their large tide ranges and
vast expanse of intertidal flats. In this paper, methods of extracting the roughness of the …
