Abstract:
The results of an experiment carried out in Italy for exploiting the capabilities of X-band SAR in the monitoring of soil and vegetation characteristics are summarized in this paper. Data from X-band Cosmo-Skymed mission have been collected in two agricultural areas and compared with C-band data of ENVISAT/ASAR and with ground truth measurements. In general, a certain sensitivity to vegetation biomass and to moisture of bare soils has been found.
