Green Area Index and Soil Moisture Retrieval in Maize Fields Using Multi-Polarized C- and L-Band SAR Data and the Water Cloud Model

Green Area Index and Soil Moisture Retrieval in Maize Fields Using Multi-Polarized C- and L-Band SAR Data and the Water Cloud Model

The green area index (GAI) and the soil moisture under the canopy are two key variables for agricultural monitoring. The current most accurate GAI estimation methods exploit optical data and are rendered ineffective in the case of frequent cloud cover. Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) measurements cou...
