dc.description.abstractDielectric constant (ε′) and dielectric loss (ε′′) of artificially moistened soil of Alwar have been determined at microwave frequency 9.78 GHz and at temperature 32.5°C using wave guide cell method. In view of the active and passive microwave remote sensing, the horizontal-horizontal radar backscattering coefficient () for bare and vegetative soil surface have been estimated by Integral Equation Model (IEM) and Water Cloud Model (WCM), respectively using ε′ and ε′′ of soil and view angle as input parameters. The horizontal component of microwave emissivity (eh) for bare soil surfaces have been determined by emissivity model. The eh for vegetative soil surfaces determined by radiative transfer equation using suitable vegetation dependent parameters, like single way vegetation transmissivity and single scattering albedo (ω) for agricultural vegetation, respectively. The present study reveals that the  for bare and vegetative soil surface exhibit a positive correlation with soil moisture content (SMC). Vegetative soil surface  is lower than that of bare soil surface for the same values of SMC and view angle. Further, eh for bare and vegetative soil surfaces decreases with an increase in SMC. Vegetative soil surface emissivity is higher than that of bare surface for the same values of SMC and observation angle. Further, backscattering coefficient and emissivity for bare and vegetative soil surfaces decrease as the angle of observation increases due to contribution of diminished coherent component. en_US
