Introduction Improving vehicle trafficability planning is a major defense mission, and we believe that this research has made significant improvements towards this end. We are striving to develop new space-borne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) techniques to measure temporal changes in soil moisture, soil freeze/thaw state, and snowmelt, utilizing both amplitude and phase signal information. Such knowledge is of great use to a variety of end-users. Military planners need to predict the bearing strength of the underlying soil and thus the number and weight of vehicles able to travel across it. Global climate modelers need to know the surface greenhouse gas and latent heat flux. The common variables in these applications...
