Effect of vegetation characteristics on near soil moisture retrieval using microwave remote sensing technique
Passive microwave remote sensing has shown potential for monitoring near surface soil moisture. This dissertation presents a new approach to representing the effect of vegetation on microwave emission by extending an existing model (Wilheit, 1978) of the coherent propagation of electromagnetic radia...
