The study analyzes a data set collected in 2017 over the Apulian Tavoliere agricultural site (Southern Italy). The data set includes: i) in situ data over more than 600 agricultural fields monitored during the 2017 winter and spring growing seasons; ii) time-series of S-1 IW VV & VH backscatter & interferometric coherence; iii) time series of S-1 SSM maps. The temporal behavior of S-1 coherence and VH backscatter has been assessed over the monitored agricultural fields. Initial results indicate a stronger sensitivity of S-1 coherence than VH backscatter to crop geometric structure. In addition, an analysis at site scale, conducted before and after an important rain event, indicates a change of SSM from 0.18 to 0.30 m3/m3 along with a change of S-1 coherence from 0.61 to 0.53. 2.
