Abstract

Based on recent experimental studies which have found a strong correlation between a multitemporal series of C-band HH/W backscatter ratios acquired at 40deg incidence angle and wheat biomass, this work investigates the effect of the assimilation of the radar retrieved information into CERES-Wheat crop model. A sensitivity analysis has shown that an inaccurate knowledge of some model inputs, concerning soil properties and crop management, can lead to erroneous predictions. However adopting a reinitialisation assimilation strategy, significant improvements in the model estimations have been obtained.
