Description

The SENSAR project aims at assessing if and how high resolution soil moisture can be extracted from SAR images at high resolution. One of the key components of the project is the large scale in-situ measurements and a model-based inversion from backscatter to dielectric constant. As a side-product of that inversion, soil roughness information is obtained and that can then be used as a hint to assist in the inversion of the SAR data. The RMA is in charge of the SAR image processing and of part of the inversion process.
