Cover Story: This study presents a quality assessment framework to address precipitation-induced effects in dual-polarization SAR data, utilizing the Normalized Polarimetric Radar Vegetation Index (NPRVI). By incorporating both in situ and GPM precipitation data within a 6-hour window prior to satellite overpass, the method identifies and adjusts precipitation-affected observations through interpolation. The corrected NPRVI time series show improved temporal consistency and stronger alignment with optical vegetation indices, particularly during periods of saturation or limited variability. Although demonstrated using Sentinel-1 over crop fields, the framework is extendable to other radar parameters and frequencies, supporting enhanced integration of radar and optical datasets for agricultural and vegetation monitoring under the influence of precipitation. View this paper
