Title
An Extension of the Alpha Approximation Method for Soil Moisture Estimation Using Time-Series SAR Data Over Bare Soil Surfaces.
Abstract
The objective of this letter is to extend the alpha approximation method, a method proposed by Balenzano et al., for soil moisture retrieval from multitemporal synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data. The original alpha approach requires an initial estimate of the upper and lower bound soil moisture values to constrain the soil moisture retrieval. This letter demonstrates an extension of the alpha app...
