Potential of L- and C- Bands Polarimetric SAR Data for Monitoring Soil Moisture over Forested Sites

Potential of L- and C- Bands Polarimetric SAR Data for Monitoring Soil Moisture over Forested Sites

This study investigates the potential of L- and C- bands Polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar (PolSAR) data to monitor soil moisture over the forested sites of SMAP Validation Experiment 2012 (SMAPVEX12). The optimal backscattering coefficients and polarimetric parameters to characterize the soil m...
