Soil Moisture Mapping from Asar Imagery for the Flumendosa and Meuse River Basins
نویسندگان
چکیده
Soil moisture monitoring and the characterization of the spatial and temporal variability of this hydrologic parameter at scales from small catchments to large river basins continues to receive much attention, reflecting its critical role in subsurface – land surface – atmosphere interactions and its importance to drought analysis, crop yield forecasting, irrigation planning, flood protection, and forest fire prevention [1, 2, 3, 4].

Estimation of surface soil moisture and roughness from multi-angular ASAR imagery in the Watershed Allied Telemetry Experimental Research (WATER)
Radar remote sensing has demonstrated its applicability to the retrieval of basin-scale soil moisture. The mechanism of radar backscattering from soils is complicated and strongly influenced by surface roughness. Additionally, retrieval of soil moisture using AIEM (advanced integrated equation model)-like models is a classic example of underdetermined problem due to a lack of credible known soi...
متن کاملImpact of Soil Moisture Dynamics on ASAR σo Signatures and Its Spatial Variability Observed over the Tibetan Plateau
This paper reports on the analysis of a 2.5 year-long time series of ASAR wide swath mode (WSM) observations for characterizing the soil moisture dynamics. The employed ASAR WSM data set consists of 152 VV-polarized scenes acquired in the period between April 2005 and September 2007 over the Naqu river basin located on the Tibetan Plateau. For four different spatial domains, with areas of 30x30...
متن کاملSoil Moisture Mapping in Vegetated Area Using Landsat and Envisat ASAR Data
Physical model is always complicated to estimate soil moisture content, while machine learning algorithms have potential advantages in retrieving information from remote sensing data. This paper takes the middle stream of Heihe River Basin in China as the study area. The neural network, one of the most common machine learning algorithms, is used to retrieve soil moisture from active microwave d...
متن کاملMapping Wetlands in Zambia Using Seasonal Backscatter Signatures Derived from ENVISAT ASAR Time Series
Wetlands are considered a challenging environment for mapping approaches based on Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data due to their often complex internal structures and the diverse backscattering mechanisms caused by vegetation, soil moisture and flood dynamics contributing to the resulting imagery. In this study, a time series of >100 SAR images acquired by ENVISAT during a time period of ca. ...
متن کاملSoil surface moisture estimation over a semi-arid region using ENVISAT ASAR radar data for soil evaporation evaluation
The present paper proposes a method for the evaluation of soil evaporation, using soil moisture estimations based on radar satellite measurements. We present firstly an approach for the estimation and monitoring of soil moisture in a semi-arid region in North Africa, using ENVISAT ASAR images, over two types of vegetation covers. The first mapping process is dedicated solely to the monitoring o...
