Spatiotemporal Variability of Arctic Soil Moisture Detected from High-Resolution RADARSAT-2 SAR Data

<div>Comparison of incidence angle effects when modelling high soil moisture (θv &gt; 0.60) values at the Cape Bounty Arctic Watershed Observatory, July 23, 2010. Here, the U21 and FQ2 scenes have average incidence angles of 45.4° and 20.9°, respectively. Field-measured soil moisture values where volumetric water content was greater than 0.60 (i.e., θv &gt; 0.60) are represented in black, whereas values less than 0.60 (i.e., θv &lt; 0.60) are presented in grey. Dashed lines indicate where θv = 0.60 for both field-measured and ANN-modelled soil moisture values.</div>
