Estimation of soil moisture using radar and optical images over grassland areas
Résumé
Analyze the sensitivity of radar signal in X-band at medium incidence angle to irrigated grassland conditions: is the X-band radar signal sensitive to soil moisture in dense grassland? Can the X-band detect the beginning of irrigation and monitor the duration of irrigation for each plot, even when the vegetation is well developed? Show the potential of the X-band radar signal at medium incidence angle for soil moisture estimation over grassland areas.
