(mentor) Faculty Civil Engineering and Geosciences Department Water Management Programme Water Resources Date 2015-11-25 Abstract We showed that radar can provide valuable insight in crop development. There is a strong relationship between radar and the vegetation index NDVI, which is derived from visible and near infrared images. With radar we can fill the gaps present in visible and near infrared images due to cloud cover. It is shown that dual-polarized radars are evenly capable of monitoring crops as quad-polarized radars. For ESA's Sentinel-1 constellation (dual polarized) this shows great potential.
