Modeling Envisat-1 Dual-Polarized Data and Its Applications
Bare surface co-polarized backscattering model and roughness computing model is established using AIEM simulated data
based on the configuration and dual-polarized nature of Envisat-1 ASAR data.The former expresses co-polarized backscattering coefficient as the function of incidence angle and two surface parameters(namely
soil moisture and roughness);and the later gives the method to obtain roughness using dual-polarized radar data.Soil moisture is estimated by combining the two models
and validation is performed by both simulated data and in-situ data.The results show that the two models are reliable and useful.The foundation of dual-polarized model will benefit to the modeling and applications of multi-polarized radar data on PALSAR(Japan) and RADARSAT-2(Canada) in the future.
