Cover Story: Polarimetric SAR parameters and backscattering coefficients at different frequencies are important to characterize soil moisture over forest areas. The L-band Uninhabited Aerial Vehicle Synthetic Aperture Radar (UAVSAR) and C-band RADARSAT-2 were analyzed in terms of soil and vegetation parameters collected during the SMAPVEX12 campaign in Canada. Several optimal polarimetric parameters and linear/circular backscattering coefficients at L-band allow the monitoring of forest soil moisture. However, only a few polarimetric parameters—φHHHV, φVVHV, and φHHVV at C-band—are sensitive to forest soil moisture. View this paper
