Abstract
Reflection measurements were performed on dry and moistened sand grains and glass
spheres, respectively. A simple model for determining the water content is
proposed from looking at the reflection distribution in the plane of incidence.
The model is a combination of two sheared cosine-functions and consists of only
two parameters. One parameter controls whether the reflection is mainly in the
forward or backward direction. The former is true when the water content is high
and the latter is true when the material is dry. The other parameter gives an
idea of the homogeneity of the material.
