Abstract:

The possibility of remote measurement of soil moisture during probing from a spacecraft, from an airplane or an unmanned aerial vehicle is being considered. Maps of soil moisture content obtained by radiometers based on various types of carriers are presented. The relevance of remote measurement of soil moisture for the needs of agriculture, in particular, for precision farming systems is substantiated.
