Microwave-based vegetation descriptors in the parameterization of water cloud model at L-band for soil moisture retrieval over croplands

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data have significant potential for soil moisture monitoring because of their high spatial resolution and independence from cloud coverage. However, it is challenging to retrieve soil moisture from SAR data over vegetated areas, as vegetation significantly affects back...
