Soil moisture is an essential climate variable and knowledge about its state and dynamics is vital for numerous applications, from agricultural drought monitoring to studying land– atmosphere interactions. Remote sensing instruments mounted on …
Long-term and high-quality surface soil moisture (SSM) and root-zone soil moisture (RZSM) data is crucial for understanding the land-atmosphere interactions of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP). More than 40% of QTP is covered by permafrost, yet few …
Soil moisture is an important component of the Earth system and plays a key role in land-atmosphere interactions. Remote sensing of soil moisture is of great scientific interest and the scientific community has made significant progress in soil …
Recent advances in L-band passive microwave remote sensing provide an unprecedented opportunity to monitor soil moisture at 40km spatial resolution around the globe. Nevertheless, retrieval of the accurate high spatial resolution soil moisture maps …
