Abstract

The analysis of SAR data, collected over the Montespertoli site during the Multisensor Airborne Campaign (MAC-91) has shown that the backscattering from the vineyards has a large variability and appears relatively independent of the crop biomass. σ⁰ is well correlated to the angle between rows of vines and the observation direction and appears strongly influenced by the frame which supports the plants
