As L-band data was only available for a while before the NISAR launch in 2020, Sentinel-1 C-band data was used for soil moisture monitoring. The L-band can penetrate dry sandy covers a few meters more profoundly than the C-band. The l-band is also less sensitive than C-band to the surface roughness that can mask subsurface information.
