The retrieval of soil moisture information with spatially and temporally high resolution from Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) observations is still a challenge. By using multi-orbit Sentinel-1 C-band time series, we present a novel approach for estimating volumetric soil moisture content for agricultural areas with a temporal resolution of one to two days, based on a short-term change detection method. By applying an incidence angle normalization and a Fourier Series transformation, the effect of varying incidence angles on the backscattering signal could be reduced. As the C-band co-polarized backscattering signal is prone to vegetational changes, it is used in this study for the vegetational correction of its related backscatter ratios. The retrieving algorithm was implemented in a cloud-processing environment, enabling a potential global and scalable application. Validated against eight in-situ cosmic ray neutron probe stations across the Rur catchment (Germany) as well as six capacitance stations at the Apulian Tavoliere (Italy) site for the years 2018 to 2020, the method achieves a correlation coefficient of R of 0.63 with an unbiased Root Mean Square Error of 0.063 m3/m3. |
