Soil moisture content estimation by radar survey data during the sowing campaign

Abstract The results of experimental studies of arable land plots during the spring sowing campaign with the aid of K band side-looking airborne radar (SLAR) are given. The possibility of estimating the productive moisture content in soil in 0–50 and 0–100cm layers by radar-survey data and soil indication functions are shown in bare soil and winter crop plots using volumetric free moisture content as the measurement parameter.
