Thermography for Estimating Near-Surface Soil Moisture under Developing Crop Canopies Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • Ground-based and aircraft investigations were conducted to evaluate the potential for extending the thermography approach to developing crop canopies. A significant exponential relationship was found between the volumetric soil water content in the 0-4 cm soil layer and the diurnal difference between surface soil temperature measured at 0230 and 1330 LST (satellite overpass times of HCMM).- from Authors
