Polarimetric Signatures from a Crop Covered Land Surface Measured by an L-band Polarimetric Radiometer
This paper describes preliminary results from field measurements of polarimetric azimuth signatures with the EMIRAD L-band polarimetric radiometer, performed over a land test site at the Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique in Avignon, France. Scans of 180 degrees in azimuth were carried out in order to identify an eventual dependence of the Stokes vector on the look-direction.
Results indicate a clear signature, for bare soil as well as for the crop-covered surface, and variations of more than 10 K are observed.
