Characterization of higher-order scattering from vegetation with SMAP measurements

Vegetation cover absorbs and scatters L-band microwave emission measured by SMOS and SMAP satellites. Misrepresentation of this phenomena results in uncertainties when inferring, for instance, surface soil moisture in retrieval algorithms that commonly utilize the tau-omega model which is most appli...
