Soil moisture is a major factor in permafrost aggradation and degradation. Active microwave sensors such as Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) have been used for detecting surface soil moisture. The measurements using SAR polarization data is most accurate and sensitive measurements, because the backsca...
