CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF MICROWAVE SPECULAR SCATTERING RESPONSE ON ROUGHNESS PARAMETER AND MOISTURE CONTENT FOR BARE PERIODIC ROUGH SURFACES AND ITS RETRIEVAL

The main aim of this paper is to accentuate the sensitivity of correlation length ʹlʹ as an important roughness parameter in quantifying the moisture content of bare soil surfaces with specular scattering. For this purpose, an indigenously designed bistat
