The enormous increase of remote sensing data from airborne and space-borne platforms, as
well as ground measurements has directed the attention of scientists towards new and …

The present article is an introductory paper in this special issue on synthetic aperture radar
(SAR). A short review is presented on the recent trend and development of SAR and related …

The importance of land surface-atmosphere interactions, principally the effects of soil
moisture, on hydrological, meteorological, and ecological processes has gained widespread …

Remotely-sensed data are a source of rich information and are valuable for precision
agricultural tasks such as soil quality, plant disease analysis, crop stress assessment, and …

Surface soil moisture has a wide application in climate change, agronomy, water resources,
and in many other domain of science and engineering. Measurement of soil moisture at high …

Soil moisture is an important indicator of the land surface environment. The combination of
land surface temperature (LST) and normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) could …

Surface Soil Moisture (SSM) is a key factor for understanding the physical process between
the land surface and atmosphere. With the advancement of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) …

The objective of this paper is to analyze the sensitivity of very high resolution TerraSAR-X
radar data taken over bare soils to surface soil parameters and to study the spatial variability …

Soil is arguably the Earth's most valuable nonrenewable resource and undoubtedly the most
biologically diverse part of the biosphere. Roughly half of a soil's volume is composed of …

The present study focuses on the soil moisture estimation using dual polarimetric RISAT-1,
C-band SAR data in HH and HV polarization. The semi empirical approach derived by …
