abstract = {In this paper, we experimentally analyzed the feasibility
of estimating soil hydraulic properties from 1.4 GHz
radiometer and 0.8–2.6 GHz ground-penetrating radar (GPR)
data. Radiometer and GPR measurements were performed above a
sand box, which was subjected to a series of vertical water
content profiles in hydrostatic equilibrium with a water
table located at different depths. A coherent radiative
transfer model was used to simulate brightness temperatures
measured with the radiometer. GPR data were modeled using
full-wave layered medium Green's functions and an intrinsic
antenna representation. These forward models were inverted
to optimally match the corresponding passive and active
microwave data. This allowed us to reconstruct the water
content profiles, and thereby estimate the sand water
retention curve described using the van Genuchten model.
Uncertainty of the estimated hydraulic parameters was
quantified using the Bayesian-based DREAM algorithm. For
both radiometer and GPR methods, the results were in close
agreement with in situ time-domain reflectometry (TDR)
estimates. Compared with radiometer and TDR, much smaller
confidence intervals were obtained for GPR, which was
attributed to its relatively large bandwidth of operation,
including frequencies smaller than 1.4 GHz. These results
offer valuable insights into future potential and emerging
challenges in the development of joint analyses of passive
and active remote sensing data to retrieve effective soil
hydraulic properties.},
