Monitoring Tree Moisture Using an Inversion Algorithm Applied to SAR Data from BOREAS

摘要

During several field campaigns in spring and summer of '94, the NASA/JPL air-borne sythetic aperature radar (AIRSAR) collected data over the southern and northern study sites of BOREAS. Among the areas over which radar data were collected was the young jack pine tower site, which is generally characterized as have shot but closely space trees with a dense crown layer.
