The aim of the present study is to analyze the sensitivity of X-band SAR (TerraSAR-X) signals as a function of different physical bare soil parameters (soil moisture,
Simultaneously to TERRASAR-X radar acquisitions, ground measurements (texture, soil moisture and roughness) were made on different test fields.. A strong correlation
In this paper, we present the data set, we then propose a polarimetric inversion technique based on the anisotropy parameter, the potential of P band PolInSAR data for
Relationship between mean soil moisture, estimated from 7 radar moisture maps, and soil texture characteristics, for 34 test fields: (a) clay content (%); (b) sand content
When Lopt1 (the lowest value) was used in the IEM model, it proved difficult for some radar configurations to ensure the correct physical behaviour between σ° and the s for both
As in the case of the turmeric crops, although the radar signal sensitivity to soil moisture is clearly lower than that observed for bare soil, it remains relatively high, even in
This result proves that the X-band radar signal penetrates the grassland cover (with vegetation height up to 1 m) and allows for the tracking of irrigation practices. In
