Estimation and analysis of vegetation parameters for the water cloud model by Xiangdong Qin, Zhiguo Pang, Jingxuan Lu

“…Second, to ensure the ability of the WCM solving both forward and inverse problems, it is advisable to consider both soil backscatter and surface backscatter simulations in the construction of the cost function. Third, soil backscatter simulations have an impact on the solution of vegetation parameters, and more accurate soil scattering models provide a better representation of the modeled vegetation. …”
