Relation between Seasonally Detrended Shortwave Infrared Reflectance Data and Land Surface Moisture in Semi‑Arid Sahel
2013
Remote Sensing
Preserved Fulltext
In this study we explored the potential of using reflectance data in the Red, Near Infrared (NIR), and Shortwave Infrared (SWIR) spectral regions for detecting short term variations in land surface moisture ...
We focused on responses in surface reflectance to soil-and surface moisture for bare soil and early to mid-growing season. ...
