Analysis and modelling of microwave remote sensing data for soil moisture and crop phenology monitoring — Terrestrial surface parameters such as soil moisture, vegetation, together with surface roughness, play significant roles in the forecasting and prediction capabilities of hydrological and atmospheric models. The overall objective of this project is to enhance our knowledge in the Earth system sciences, through improved analysis and modelling of combined SMAP and SMOS data along with RADARSAT Constellation Mission data. The new knowledge that will be generated has the potential not only to enhance our theoretical understanding in Earth system sciences, but also to provide information for practical use (crop monitoring, water resources management, etc.).
