A New Technology of Vegetation Microwave Monitoring
نویسندگان
چکیده
The objective of this paper is threefold: 1) To present a working methodology for the combined use of modeling technology and microwave remote sensing measurements in the assessment of attenuation of electromagnetic waves by the vegetation cover; 2) To illustrate this methodology with computer calculations of the attenuation for various soil-plant formations; 3) To give a perspective of the developed methodology applied to the study of global environmental change, including the radiative forcing problem.

The sensitivity of microwave emission to biomass and biophysical properties of crops and forests has been proved in several experimental and theoretical studies. Experimental investigations on microwave emission from crops carried out since early 1980s by using ground based and airborne sensors demonstrated that useful information on vegetation covered soils can be obtained by combining brightn...

Estimation of forest aboveground biomass is critical for regional carbon policies and sustainable forest management. Passive optical remote sensing and active microwave remote sensing both play an important role in the monitoring of forest biomass. However, optical spectral reflectance is saturated in relatively dense vegetation areas, and microwave backscattering is significantly influenced by...
