✦ Synopsis
An agroecological approach is presented to simulate and by the launch in July 1991 of the ERS-1 satellite that carries, among others, an imaging C-band SAR (Syn-time series of ERS SAR radar backscatter of agricultural crops from integrated crop growth (SUCROS), water thetic Aperture Radar). The interpretation of radar data from agricultural targets, however, has proven to be balance (SAHEL), and radar backscatter (Cloud) modeling. SUCROS is used to calculate the amount of water quite complex, and advancements have been slow compared to the optical remote sensing domain. Up to now, in canopies and SAHEL the amount of water in the top soil, which serve both as driving variables for the Cloud most successes have been achieved in classification and mapping of crops (Lemoine et al., 1996; Schotten et al., model. The methodology was tested on three years of
