Effective roughness modelling as a tool for soil moisture retrieval from C- and L-band SAR
Soil moisture retrieval from Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) using state-of-the-art back-scatter models is not fully operational at present, mainly due to difficulties involved in the parameterisation of soil surface roughness. Recently, increasing interest has been drawn to the use of calibrated or...
