Simulations of L-Band Backscattering from a Quasi- Periodic Corn Canopy

Simulations of L-Band Backscattering from a Quasi- Periodic Corn Canopy

Retrieval of soil moisture under corn canopies has been investigated by many researchers and is still a problem that is not fully assessed. Corn is an organized canopy. This feature produces effects not observed from natural canopies. One such effect is the dependence of sensor response on the azimu...

Description
Summary:Retrieval of soil moisture under corn canopies has been investigated by many researchers and is still a problem that is not fully assessed. Corn is an organized canopy. This feature produces effects not observed from natural canopies. One such effect is the dependence of sensor response on the azimuthal direction. The aim of this study is to explore these distinguishing effects by Monte-Carlo simulations.
