Soil moisture identification -Sentinel

Hi,

As far as I know, soil moisture retrieval has not been implemented in SNAP. There are a few methods that have been developed for retrieving sol moisture from SAR. These are the following:

  • Soil moisture retrieval using theoretical scattering model
  • Soil moisture retrieval using semi-empirical scattering models
  • Soil moisture retrieval using change detection
  • Soil moisture retrieval using Interferometry
  • Soil moisture retrieval using polarimetric parameters

The methods mentioned above are the ones that mostly used for retrieving soil moisture from SAR.

Here are some relevant articles to look at:
