Radar-Crop-Monitor - Spatial Mapping Agricultural Conditions with Sentinel-1 Time Series - an Update

This study explores the potential of Sentinel-1 time series for crop monitoring. In this study an attempt was made to use Copernicus Sentinel-1 time-series (backscatter & coherence) to map differences in crop development (growth) within fields, to define the main factors affecting radar backscatter, and to learn about plant-relevant parameters with the aim to fill gaps in Copernicus Sentinel-2 time-series with relevant spatial information for crop monitoring.
