Water content influence on scattering properties of vegetation cover

The problem of the influence of the parameters of the underlying cover on its scattering properties is of a great interest. Vegetation covers are very important in this respect. The known theoretical models sometimes do not give a satisfactory agreement with experimental results. This may be explained by the variety of land surface covers, by the different approaches in the development of theoretical models, by distinctions of methodics of receiving an experimental data and for millimeter and submillimeter waves-by the small quantity of experimental data. In this paper the influence of the parameters of the underlying cover, such as vegetation water content and soil water content and millimeter wave scattering is given
