Soil moisture over Canadian Arctic tundra: Trail Valley Creek, Northwest Territories [Canada] dataset
Synthetic aperature radar (SAR) remote sensing offers a technology potentially capable of capturing information about soil moisture at high spatial and temporal resolutions. This method has been shown to be effective in lower latitude environments however there has been a lack of investigation in ar...
