A New Reflectivity Index for the Retrieval of Surface Soil Moisture From Radar Data

A new approach based on the change detection technique is proposed for the estimation of surface soil moisture (SSM) from a time series of radar measurements. A new index of reflectivity (IR) is defined that uses radar signals and Fresnel coefficients. This index is equal to 0 in the case of the sma...
