Abstract
The numeric inversion of water-cloud model of synchronized microwave bands of ERS-2 and JERS satellites gave the possibility of obtaining crop characteristics. Model performance was validated by comparison between backscattering coefficients simulated and measured by satellites. The contribution of various crop characteristics was presented and compared to measured soil-vegetation parameters at the ground level during satellite overpasses.
