Scientific paper

We present the results of combined modelling of optical and radar signatures of cereal canopies. An optical model based on Monte Carlo ray tracing simulations of scattering behaviour in the vegetation canopy is used to simulate spectral reflectance, and a coherent microwave scattering model is used to simulate multi-frequency polarimetric microwave signatures. These use similar descriptions of the vegetation structure, and therefore provide a link between the two regimes. During the "SAR-Hyperspectral Airborne Campaign" (SHAC), conducted in the UK during summer 2000, datasets were acquired using the E-SAR and Hymap. Coincident with the E-SAR overflights, a ground measurement campaign was conducted, to characterise the moisture status of the vegetation, soil and the leaf area index (LAI), as well as more detailed measurements of the vegetation properties. We discuss the comparison between model simulations and the observed signatures, and highlight aspects of the link provided by the structural vegetation canopy model.
