| Abstract | A successful soil moisture algorithm using radar data must identify the soil moisture effect and the surface roughness dependence explicitly since rough surface scattering depends on both the roughness and the dielectric constant of an imaged surface. For bare surfaces, several algorithms have been developed to estimate soil moisture using polarimetric radar data. These algorithms were empirically derived from either experimental data or numerical data instead of starting from rough surface scattering theories. In this paper, we present a soil moisture algorithm theoretically derived using the tilted Bragg approximation. With appropriate approximations using the tilted Bragg theory, we have derived both co- and cross-polarization ratios. Then, a soil moisture algorithm is developed based on these two ratios. This new algorithm is compared with the existing empirical methods using input data from the IEM (Integral Equation Method) an experimental radar data. We also briefly discuss the effect of vegetation on this soil moisture algorithm. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
