What is Assessment of surface soil moisture from ALOS PALSAR-2 in small-scale maize fields using polarimetric decomposition technique about?
Surface soil moisture knowledge is important, especially in agriculture and irrigation management. Properties of microwave remote sensing like penetration power and longer wavelength facilitate retrieval of surface soil moisture. ALOS PALSAR-2, quad polarized data are used to retrieve surface soil moisture using polarization decomposition techniques in a marginal farmer small-scale maize field. The focus of the study is to explore the utility of ALOS PALSAR-2 in retrieving surface soil moisture using the polarization decomposition technique. The demonstration of the study is carried out in Malavalli village, southern India, an agricultural predominant area. The study involves field soil moisture sampling in synchronous with satellite pass, measuring soil properties, preprocessing of SAR data, polarization decomposition, proportional analysis, regression analysis, model calibration and validation. Van Zyl decomposition gave the highest surface scattering component (43%) and reduced volumetric scattering component compared to Yamaguchi and Freeman-Durden decomposition. Surface scattering component of Yamaguchi decomposition gave a good coefficient of determination (R 2 = 0.8029) with
