- Abstract
- AbstractIn this paper, we report the results of an experimental study aimed toward investigating microwave emission from forests. The experiment was carried out in 2006 on two forest stands of poplar (Populus alba) and pine (Pinus italica), using ground-based microwave radiometers at the L-, C-, X-, Ku-, and Ka-bands, in H and V polarizations. Measurements on poplar
were performed on different dates and at different incidence and azimuth angles, looking downward (from the top of trees and from below the crown) and upward (from the soil level). Only one downward-looking measurement was carried out over a pine plot with dry soil in April. All the remote sensing measurements were complemented with ground-truth data. The collected experimental data made it possible to quantify the spectral signatures of poplar, as well as the variation of angular trends of brightness temperature in different seasons of the year. The sensitivity of
L-band emission to soil properties and leaf biomass was also investigated. Moreover, the measurements on poplar, combined with a simple radiative transfer model (the so-called omegatau equation), allowed estimating the transmissivity of the canopy with and without leaves. The analysis of data has shown that for the observed forest type, the sensitivity to soil moisture under defoliated trees can be noted at both the L- and C-bands. (literal)
