摘要
The development of soil moisture retrieval algorithms for the upcoming NASA/ISRO SAR mission motivates investigations into soil surface scattering effects and their influence on soil moisture retrievals. To better understand the conditions that impact retrieval performance, an investigation is performed into the second-order solution small slope approximation (SSA2) for rough surface backscattering. Scattering amplitudes are calculated for varying soil moisture and surface roughness conditions and compared to the first-order solution. The results show the ability of the second-order solution to model cross-pol scattering and help pinpoint physical conditions that may influence soil moisture retrievals. Overall, the results suggest that the first-order SSA solution should be applicable under the physical conditions where NISAR soil moisture retrievals are expected to be performed.
