All good things must come to an end

After a long 3-weeks of tireless work it is time to celebrate and go home. A good time was had by all, and an amazing data set has been collected.

Canola sampling

Team B is hard at work making structural measurements of a canola field. This will be important data for radar interpretation. Repeat monitoring at a range of fields and sites within fields gives insight to the temporal evolution of the vegetation properties.

Wet spots persist

While there is a nice drydown underway and expected to persist, the H-pol brightness temperatures from Flight 4 of the campaign show that ponding is likely to persist throughout the experiment in some parts of the study area.
