Recently, we have proposed a retrieval technique based on an original polarimetric two-
scale model (PTSM), which is able to estimate the volumetric water content of bare soils from …

Model and corresponding algorithm able to retrieve both soil moisture and surface
roughness of a bare soil from a pair of measured hh-and vv-polarised SAR images are here …

We present a new synthetic aperture radar (SAR) raw signal simulator, which is able to
simultaneously generate raw signals of different polarimetric channels of a polarimetric SAR …

In this paper we introduce an algorithm to retrieve the soil moisture content and the surface
roughness of a moderately vegetated soil from a fully polarimetric SAR dataset. The …

This is how YA Gagarin reported to Ground Control during his spacewalk around our planet,
on April 1961. Starting from then, we observe the Earth and we try to understand more and …

Recently we proposed a retrieval technique based on an original Polarimetric Two-Scale
Model (PTSM), able to estimate the volumetric water content of bare soils from polarimetric …

In past decades, monitoring of the Earth's surface has brought lots of attention to research
communities. The thought of monitoring Earth's surface from 800 kilometers altitude, with no …

In the last years the interest in the study and monitoring of the Earth has been gradually
growing, and many institutions have planned missions for these purposes. Synthetic …

We present a method able to retrieve the soil moisture content and the surface roughness of
a moderately vegetated soil in a possibly hilly area, from a fully polarimetric SAR dataset …

Ground roughness and soil moisture content are important parameters for agricultural
applications; in addition, they play a leading role in the hydrological cycle, as they determine …
