Remote Sensing of Soil

Description

The knowledge of soil surface conditions (soil moisture content, roughness, temperature, and texture) is of the highest importance in agriculture, atmospheric sciences, and hydrological studies. Therefore, in the last years, many scientific studies have been developed to demonstrate potential of remote sensing in surface geophysical parameters estimation, based on different new satellite sensors (ASTER, IKONOS, QUICKBIRD, FORMOSAT, SPOT5, CHRIS/PROBA, ASAR/ENVISAT, PALSAR/ALOS, RADARSAT-2, TERRASAR, MSG).

The main focus of this special issue will be on the new quantitative methodologies to estimate soil characteristics using high spatial or temporal resolution multispectral remote sensing data (optical, microwaves). The special issue will become an international forum for researchers to summarize the most recent developments and ideas in the field, with a special emphasis given to developed results obtained within the last five years. The topics to be covered include, but not limited to:

  • Satellite data analysis over soil surface
  • Physical modelling (radiative transfer) over soil
  • Inversion models
  • Soil moisture, roughness, texture, temperature, carbon/organic matter mapping
