Research into microwave radiation from the Earth s surface in
the presence of vegetation canopies, as well as the development of
algorithms for retrieval of soil and vegetation parameters from
microwave radiometric measurements, have been actively conducted
for the last thirty years by many scientific groups and
organizations all over the world. The capability of the microwave
radiometric method to determine soil moisture and vegetation
biometric indices was revealed a quarter of a century ago by the
author and many of his colleagues. In fact, soil moisture and
vegetation covers play a key role in the hydrological cycle and in
water and energy transfer on the border of land surface and
atmosphere through evaporation and transpiration. Accomplishment of
large international projects that include global monitoring of the
hydrological state of land surface (EOS Aqua, SMOS, Hydros, and
others) shows that microwave radiometry of soil and vegetation more
and more has become an instrument of practical application and
operational use. In this respect, a systematic account of questions
concerning the microwave radiometry of the Earth s surface in the
presence of vegetation canopies seems to be useful and is the main
objective of the book."
