DIELECTRIC PROPERTIES OF SOILS AS A FUNCTION OF MOISTURE CONTENT

摘要

In studying applications of microwave remote sensing techniques to agricultural, hydrological, and other related problems, the soil dielectric properties are of considerable importance. In recent years, numerous soil dielectric constant measurements have been made. Due to the complexity of the data acquisition procedure, however, the number of measurements in a single experiment is usually too small to permit a systematic analysis of the effects of the various parameters that influence soil dielectric properties.
