Variation of the Radar Backscatter of Vegetation through the Growing Season
conference paper
In the period between 1975 and l98l the ROVE team (Radar Observation of VEgetation) in the Netherlands collected data on the radar backscatter of crops through the growing season, Using these data general trends in the behaviour of the radar backscatter through the growing season (temporal signatures) can be determined for a number of crops. The results are reported. Comparisons are made with data from the literature and with the vegetation model developed by Attema and Ulaby. This last model can be used also to obtain information on the soil under the vegetation.
