How are the incidence_near and incidence_far calculated

on pre-processing in general, please have a look at this topic:

Radiometric & Geometric Correction Workflow

Thank your very much for your suggestions. Does the Thermal noise removal and Apply Orbit file are the necessary steps?

Soil moisture is tricky. I suggest reading a bit in the following topics:

Soil moisture mapping using Sentinel-1-Data and SNAP?

Hello everyone, does anyone of you know how to use Sentinel-1-Data to map soil moisture? I know that there are many algorithms like SMOSAR or Multi-temporal Bayesian. But what are the basic steps I schould follow? What would be the best toolbox (s1tbx, s2tbx, s3tbx) / method / software (e.g. PolSARpro) which is helpful? Thank you for your efforts!

S1 GRD product - retrieve soil moisture

as I understand there are no complete algorithm for retrieve soil moisture from GRD product available in s1tbx. Right? Can you suggest links how to process images to soil moisture? I will be grateful for any help.

Backscattering for Soil Moisture

Hello EveryOne… I want to use SAR Sentinel 1 Backscattering for soil moisture? but I don’t know how to get backscattering data from Sentinel 1A? Please share your knowledge. I have download data S1A-SLC-IW Having Snap But I don’t know how to convert my data to backscattering? Regards

After Sigma0

Hi everyone, Suppose I got Sigma0 from Sentinel-1A for soil moisture, then what next steps should I follow to complete soil moisture mapping. Sorry for my limited knowledge. Regards

Soil Moisture studies

Hi I am working on SAR applications in soil moisture estimation. I would like to compare Sentinel 1 with ground based soil moisture. I need a exact mid incidence angle to apply for empirical model . can anyone help me to find out please
