Abstract:

We revealed a stable interrelation between the intensity of radio-frequency radiation of soil cover in microwave frequency range and the level of soil water up to a depth of 2.5 m. Calculation formulas for determination of the occurrence depth of soil waters from radio-emission characteristics of soil cover are derived. Data of aircraft and satellite observations in optical and microwave frequency range allowed the remote mapping of soil water levels near settlers of concentration plants.
