Comparison of in situ mid-infrared spectroscopy (MIRS) with laboratory MIRS is required to demonstrate the accuracy of field-scale prediction of soil properties. Application of MIRS to investigate soil management questions must also be tested. Our …
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 …
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 …
This study presents an assessment of a pre-operational soil moisture product at 1 km resolution derived from satellite data acquired by the European Radar Observatory Sentinel-1 (S-1), representing the first space component of the Copernicus program. …
Soil moisture observations are of broad scientific interest and practical value for a wide range of applications. The scientific community has made significant progress in estimating soil moisture from satellite-based Earth observation data, …
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 …
This paper presents a community effort to develop good practice guidelines for the validation of global coarse-scale satellite soil moisture products. We provide theoretical background, a review of state-of-the-art methodologies for estimating errors …
The Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) satellite can no longer directly deliver high-resolution (9 km) soil moisture products with the failure of the onboard L-band radar. Thus, an appropriate replacement sensor and new algorithms are urgently …
Climate extremes have the potential to cause extreme responses of terrestrial ecosystem functioning. However, it is neither straightforward to quantify and predict extreme ecosystem responses, nor to attribute these responses to specific climate …
