Use of multiincidence angle RADARSAT-1 SAR data to incorporate the effect of surface roughness in soil moisture estimation

The proposed study offers an approach to incorporate the effect of surface roughness in the estimation of soil moisture from space without actually measuring surface roughness conditions on ground. It is required to acquire synthetic aperture radar data at low and high incidence angles, such that the soil moisture changes are negligible between the two acquisitions.
