Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Conference Paper Description
Vegetation features have been assessed by using microwave radiometric data (AMSR-E/2, SMAP) in order to retrieve vegetation biomass maps on a global scale. The tau-omega model has been used for estimating the vegetation optical depth (tau, τ) from microwave data at different frequencies. An algorithm based on Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and able to ingest data from different frequency channels has been implemented for the inversion of the model and the retrieval of vegetation biomass. The algorithm validation, carried out on the available experimental data, confirmed that microwave emission, and in particular the use of the two polarizations, H and V, can be legitimately used to produce vegetation maps on a global and local scale by separating several levels of biomass, without any need of further information from other sensors.
