The high degree of correlation between the electrical properties of soil and soil moisture content are well known. Considerable experimental work has been conducted by using radar for the determination of soil moisture. However, in the transition from a controlled measurement device to an operational imaging radar, the effects of soil moisture have been extremely difficult to separate from other terrain parameters influencing the radar return signal. The data presented in this study suggest that presently available dual polarized, K‐band, side‐looking imaging radars provide a capability for revealing a qualitative estimate of soil moisture content. When used as a supplement to aerial photography in temperate climates, radar imagery analysis will decrease the ambiguity of soil type reconnaissance. In the Arctic, an imaging radar may provide data for mapping regions of permafrost, and this process could be accomplished in a sequential manner regardless of weather or time of day. The use of additional multifrequency multipolarization imaging radars and the relative foliage penetration of each should be investigated as a possible means of gathering quantitative soil moisture information. |
