Polarization of Electromagnetic Radiation a Resource for Predicting Soil Moisture

Authors: Sam Nwaneri; Wubishet Tadasse; ALABAMA A AND M UNIV NORMAL DEPT OF PLANT AND SOIL SCIENCE
Abstract:
This paper discusses the prediction model of soil moisture content (SMC). The purpose is to model SMC with respect to use segregation (useg), temperature, and the intensity of local solar radiation that causes polarization of electromagnetic radiation (EMR). The objectives include using basic laws of radiation to assess how radiation intimately interacts with matter. The methodology consists of four method spaces dealing with: polarization of dielectric medium; hysteresis accounting for the rhythms of polarization and relaxation time; validation of temperature effects on polarization and medium susceptibility; and the nesting of the medium complex dielectric permittivity to its void capacity (n v) or the Boolean Space (BS). Solar radiation impinging on the soil a dielectric medium, is a form of EMR that generates mechanisms of charge displacement (polarizations). The study found that BS approach can adequately be a predictor resource under the ideal temperature.
