Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) has emerged as a promising technology for estimating the soil water content (SWC) in the vadose zone. However, most current studies focus on partial GPR data, such as travel-time or amplitude, to achieve SWC estimation. Full waveform inversion (FWI) can produce more ac...
