Using Microwave Profile Radar to Estimate Forest Canopy Leaf Area Index: Linking 3D Radiative Transfer Model and Forest Gap Model

Using Microwave Profile Radar to Estimate Forest Canopy Leaf Area Index: Linking 3D Radiative Transfer Model and Forest Gap Model

Profile radar allows direct characterization of the vertical forest structure. Short-wavelength, such as Ku or X band, microwave data provide opportunities to detect the foliage. In order to exploit the potential of radar technology in forestry applications, a helicopter-borne Ku-band profile radar...
