Still, the interplay among the scattering mechanisms taking place at such a high incidence and their implications on the backscatter information content is often disregarded. This article investigates, through an experimental and numerical study, the S-1 sensitivity to the surface soil moisture (SSM) over agricultural fields observed at low (~33°) and high (~43°) incidence angles and quantifies the impact of the incidence angle on the SSM retrieval accuracy. The study sites are the Apulian Tavoliere (Italy) and REd de MEDición de la HUmedad del Suelo (REMEDHUS) (Spain), which are both instrumented with a hydrologic network continuously measuring SSM. At low incidence angles, results confirm that for crops such as wheat and barley, dominated in C-band by surface scattering, there exists a good sensitivity of S-1 VV to SSM. At high incidence angles, the sensitivity to SSM holds through the combination of the soil attenuated and double bounce scattering. Conversely, over crops dominated by volume scattering, such as sugar beet, the S-1 VV signal is not correlated with the in situ SSM observations, neither at low nor at high incidence. For all the crops, the sensitivity of S-1 to SSM in VH is found significantly lower than in VV. The impact of the incidence angle on the SSM retrieval has been studied with a recursive algorithm based on a short-term change detection approach. An upper and lower bounds for the worsening of the S-1 VV retrieval performance at far versus near range observations have been estimated. In the worst-case scenario, the root mean square error (RMSE) increases from ~0.056 m 3 /m 3 , at low incidence, to ~0.071 m 3 /m 3 , at high incidence. The mechanism that lowers the retrieval accuracy at high incidence angles is further investigated in the synthetic experiment and its impact on the RMSE is estimated in terms of the volume scattering contribution.

The main map (1:5000 scale) was obtained through an integrated approach that incorporates morphometric analysis, geological and geomorphological field mapping, and geomorphological profiles drawing. Activities were carried out by all students, divided into six working groups of three to four persons each. The field camp and field work activities made it possible to produce a detailed thematic map, as a scientific tool to depict the San Domino Island landscape, and to outline some geomorphological issues in terms of possible constraints to landscape evolution, geomorphological processes distribution, and natural hazard assessment.
