Surface Soil Moisture Estimation from Time Series of RADARSAT Constellation Mission Compact Polarimetric Data for the Identification of Water-Saturated Areas

Remote Sensing
Soil moisture is one of the main factors affecting microwave radar backscatter from the ground. While there are other factors that affect backscatter levels (for instance, surface roughness, vegetation, and incident angle), relative variations in soil ...

Downscaling SMAP soil moisture using radarsat constellation mission (RCM) compact polarimetric SAR data: A case study in southern Ontario

, 2020
This paper presents an improved algorithm for downscaling SMAP soil moisture using C-band SAR data. It is developed using multi-temporal C-band Radarsat Constellation Mission (RCM) compact polarimetric (CP) SAR data. In this improved algorithm, the effect of vegetation on soil moisture retrieval from SAR data is minimized by using a normalized ...
