Aim of this exercise is to apply a soil moisture retrieval model on satellite-based radar measurements to get an understanding of how assumptions and simplifications in the model impact the obtained parameter estimates using high-quality reference data sets for comparison.
This exercise is split into two parts:
1) An analysis of the sensitivity of the forward model to changes in the contributing parameters
2) An analysis of the impact of the assumptions in the model calibration on the inverted soil moisture estimates
Practicals do not take place every week. Please, note announcements of lecturers!
Attandence is mandatory!
A script is provided in the lecture Parameter Retrieval from Earth Observation (120.034)
