Abstract

In this paper we combine a macro-ecology forest model with a numerical scattering code to estimate the vertical scattering profile of L-band penetration into forests. We use these simulations to show that structure has an important impact on interferometric coherence and hence on height retrievals based on single baseline polarimetric interferometry. We conclude with some suggestions for dual baseline extensions to allow for better height and structure estimation in future sensors.
