Remote soil moisture measurementsThe degree of polarization of visible sunlight reflected from bare soils in agricultural test areas in the southwestern United States was measured by an airborne photopolarimeter. Surface soil specimens provided data concerning the surface moisture of the soil to which the polarization data were compared. The results indicate the feasibility of measuring soil surface moisture by airborne polarimeter instrumentation.
