Abstract
This work investigates the potential use of passive and active microwave ob servations to monitor soil moisture and vegetation biomass over a soybean c over. The work is based on a sensitivity analysis from a large set of data generated by radiative-transfer models. some appropriate configurations are identified. In particular, the combined use of passive data at 1.4 GHz, wi th multiangle active measurements at 5 GHz, is found to be promising.
