The sensitivity of CYGNSS observations to soil moisture decreases at larger incidence angles and higher VWC. The paper notes that the CYGNSS mission faces challenges in terms of signal scattering and geometric effects. The study identifies the need for further analysis to fully understand the relationship between CYGNSS reflectivity and soil moisture.
