Abstract
Thermodielectric interactions between free and bound soil water at different soil textures and frequencies affect radar backscatter. Simulations with a semi-empirical backscatter model show a potential for temperature corrections in inference of water content. A new thermodielectric response backscatter difference index was derived for remote mapping of surface soil texture.
