First Results of Estimating Surface Soil Moisture in the Vegetated Areas Using ASAR and Hyperion Data: The Chinese Heihe River Basin Case Study

First Results of Estimating Surface Soil Moisture in the Vegetated Areas Using ASAR and Hyperion Data: The Chinese Heihe River Basin Case Study

This study introduces a new approach to estimate surface soil moisture in vegetated areas using Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and hyperspectral data. To achieve this, the Michigan Microwave Canopy Scattering (MIMICS) model was initially used to simulate backscatter from vegetated surfaces containin...
