Statistical characterization and exploitation of Synthetic Aperture radar vegetation indexes for the generation of Leaf area Index time series

This study investigates the efficacy of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR)-based vegetation indexes for filling gaps in the optical-driven Leaf Area Index (LAI) time series. The statistical properties of coherent (e.g., interferometric coherence) and incoherent (e.g., backscattered signal) SAR vegetatio...
