| Popis: | In this study, the causal relationship between seasonal variations in surface conditions and DSS generation was investigated through the integrated use of the C-band backscatter coefficient (J 0) of the Sentinel 1 microwave satellite from the optical satellite sensor (Terra/MODIS). Because of the very high reflectance of the background soil in sparsely vegetated bare land, it has been difficult to rely solely on optical satellite data for accurate surface condition assessment in previous studies. Therefore, we used SAR and optical data to represent the spatial variability of backscatter coefficients for different surface conditions in the Gobi Desert and Steppe areas, and employed the C-band backscatter coefficient from the Sentinel-1 microwave satellite as a key parameter. The results show that in the Gobi Desert region, the correlation between the seasonal variation of backscatter coefficients and NDVI is highly significant, with a maximum correlation coefficient in fall (R=0.645, p |
