P. Ferrazzoli et L. Guerriero, INTERPRETATION AND MODEL ANALYSIS OF MAESTRO-1 FLEVOLAND DATA, International journal of remote sensing, 15(14), 1994, pp. 2901-2915
A model, based on the Radiative Transfer Theory and the Matrix Doublin
g algorithm, is tested with agricultural and forest radar returns meas
ured by the JPL AIRSAR sensor over the Flevoland site (The Netherlands
) at P, L and C bands. The test is generally valid, although some disc
repancies are noted in the absolute P band values of sigma(0) and not
all the input parameters were obtainable from ground measurements. The
model is also used to interpret the experimental results and to estim
ate the relative importance of the different scattering contributions.
