Soil moisture (SM) is a key hydrologic state variable that is of significant importance for
numerous Earth and environmental science applications that directly impact the global …

Soil moisture (SM) is an essential parameter for understanding the interactions and
feedbacks between the atmosphere and the Earth's surface through energy and water …

The enormous increase of remote sensing data from airborne and space-borne platforms, as
well as ground measurements has directed the attention of scientists towards new and …

We propose a new architecture based on a fully connected feed-forward Artificial Neural
Network (ANN) model to estimate surface soil moisture from satellite images on a large …

The recent deployment of ESA's Sentinel operational satellites has established a new
paradigm for remote sensing applications. In this context, Sentinel-1 radar images have …

Abstract Advances in Earth Observation (EO) technology, particularly over the last two
decades, have shown that soil moisture content (SMC) can be measured to some degree or …

Meeting current needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet theirs is the
only path toward achieving environmental sustainability. As the most valuable natural …

Soil moisture is an integral quantity in hydrology that represents the average conditions in a
finite volume of soil. In this paper, a novel regression technique called Support Vector …

The present article is an introductory paper in this special issue on synthetic aperture radar
(SAR). A short review is presented on the recent trend and development of SAR and related …

The satellite based passive (radiometer) and active (radar) microwave sensors enhanced
our ability to retrieve soil moisture at global scales. It has been almost four decades since …
