| Abstract | The currently available backscatter inversion models often do not yield satisfactory results when applied to natural surfaces due to an inaccurate characterization of the soil roughness properties. This is caused by inadequacy of the applied soil roughness measuring techniques and by the high variation on soil roughness parameters within one agricultural field. From a theoretical study it was found that long profiles are necessary to obtain an accurate estimation of the roughness parameters. Short profiles, which are generally measured, tend to underestimate the roughness parameters. Soil roughness data were collected over three different tillages with the ESA laser profiler, which allows measurements of profiles up to 25 m, and a 4 m wide meshboard. This research compares the two measuring techniques and studies the possibility of compensating for the underestimation of short profiles. Analysis of the 25 m laser profiles confirmed the theoretical study that the rms height and the correlation length increase as profile length increases. The rms height reached a constant value for all three tillages whereas the correlation length only reached a constant value for the roughest tillages. The dependency on profile length of both rms height and correlation length could be quite accurately modeled which allowed the extrapolation from short profile data to rms height and correlation length values at higher profile lengths. Additionally, it was found that it is possible to convert the less accurate meshboard derived rms values to those obtained from the laser profiler. This conversion greatly improves when the parameter values of at least six, 4 m profiles are averaged. For the correlation length this conversion is not possible due to the high variance on this parameter |

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.
