Evaluates the use of polarimetric L-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) information for applied derivation of important hydrologic parameters. In most cases empirical relationships between SAR-data and water cycle components are investigated as a first step towards hydrological information extraction. The use of polarimetric parameters for hydrological modelling is analysed. Furthermore, the dependency of the polarimetric parameters from the local incidence angle is investigated
