Abstract

The goal of this study is to measure rain induced forest canopy wetness. The approach used is ERS tandem mission C-band SAR backscatter change detection between successive dry and rainy days. The observed backscatter change is positively related with modelled canopy wetness change. It is therefore concluded that short time change detection is an useful method. To improve the reliability of the method, it is recommended to analyse more datasets.
