Sentinel-1 Backscatter Time Series for Characterization of Evapotranspiration Dynamics over Temperate Coniferous Forests

Forests’ ecosystems are an essential part of the global carbon cycle with vast carbon storage potential. These systems are currently under external pressures showing increasing change due to climate change. A better understanding of the biophysical properties of forests is, therefore, of paramount importance for research and monitoring...

Investigating the influence of drought on Sentinel-1 C-band SAR data over agricultural crops: A study in the Netherlands

The stress on global food security is expected to increase. Hence, crop and drought monitoring will become increasingly important in the future. Synthetic Aperture Radars (SAR) are able to penetrate clouds and thus reliably provide data. Despite the extensive literature that can be found on the use of high spatio-temporal resolution SAR data, a...
