Estimation of Soil Moisture in an Alpine Catchment with RADARSAT2 Images

Figure 5

Scatter plots of backscattering coefficients extracted from the RADARSAT2 images versus dielectric constant measurements over pasture areas and with dielectric constant values between 4.5 and 5.5 in the case of (a) HH polarization configuration and (b) HV polarization configuration. NDVI values are shown for the samples which show strong residual variability in the backscattering coefficient value.
