Abstract

A method for estimating complex soil permittivity (or moisture) and penetration depth based on SAR decomposition is presented. By combining model- and eigen-based decomposition techniques, SAR observations are separated into single scattering components (from soil & vegetation). The proposed method incorporates a multi-layer rough surface scattering model to simulate the soil scattering contribution. From the decomposed soil scattering component, permittivity and thus penetration depth can be estimated from SAR observations. Results are presented for the AirMOSS campaign within the MOISST site, OK, USA. As first results, a median value of 16.44 + 2.02 for the complex permittivity was estimated from the 19 P-band data takes at the SoilSCAPE in situ station in Canton, OK, USA. Overall, the retrieval results for the real part of the complex permittivity are similar to in situ values at 30 cm soil depth, with differences in respective median values of 3.44. The median of penetration depths at the Canton site is 23.91 cm.
