Abstract :
This paper presents an inversion methodology using weighted least squares to obtain the electrical parameters for the vegetation and soil of a typical Amazon rainforest region. These parameters are the electrical conductivity and relative permittivity. Also, a comparative analysis of these parameters against the values found in the literature is presented.
