- Abstract:
- This project will develop novel methods for data and model synergy for optical and microwave wavelengths to allow the fuller exploitation of current and forthcoming satellite sensors, and improved estimation of canopy (wheat crop) biophysical parameters. Data from current spaceborne systems (ASAR, CHRIS/PROBA, ERS SAR, ETM) will be analysed over test sites in the UK, and proposed (SPECTRA, TerraSAR, ALOS) and potential (satellite cluster missions such as bistatic radars) explored. The modelling is based on 3D dynamic models of vegetation and numerical solutions for radiation transport at optical and microwave wavelengths.
