Modeling Surface Soil Moisture from Microwave Remote Sensing Data in Solani River Catchment Uttarakhand India
The spatiotemporal variation of surface soil moisture is a key subject variable need to be assessed accurately since it plays a crucial role in partitioning of rainfall into runoff and infiltration. Active microwave remote sensing has offered prominent potential towards accurate estimation of surface soil moisture. Present study utilizes ERS-2 SAR image for estimating surface soil moisture by incorporating the effect…
