Published on 2006 by ProQuest
This study will evaluate the contribution of vegetation in minimizing its effect on the accuracy of soil moisture retrieval. Based on our research, we found that the presence of higher vegetation cover reduces the accuracy of soil moisture retrieval. The empirical model to limit the effect of vegetation cover to maximize the accuracy of soil moisture retrieval has been proposed. The final product of this study, which has been produced, is a soil moisture map using active microwave data with different level of accuracy. This research also highlights the impact of spatial heterogeneity in land surface conditions on soil moisture retrieval from microwave data. Sensitivity of soil moisture retrieval in spatial heterogeneous area is positively correlated with the type of land-cover.
