Mandal, Dipankar (author), Kumar, V. (author), Lopez-Sanchez, Juan M. (author), Rao, Y. S. (author), McNairn, Heather (author), Bhattacharya, Avik (author), Mitchell, Scott (author)Biophysical parameters are descriptors of crop growth and production estimates. Retrieval of these biophysical parameters from synthetic aperture radar sensors at operational scales is highly interesting given the increase in access to data from radar missions. Vegetation backscattering can be simulated using the water cloud model (WCM). Crop...book chapter 2022
