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 …

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 …

Abstract The NASA Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) mission has utilized a set of core
validation sites as the primary methodology in assessing the soil moisture retrieval algorithm …

Abstract The Soil Moisture Experiment in the Luan River (SMELR) was conducted from 2017
to 2018 in the semi-arid Luan River watershed located in the North of China. One of the …

Passive microwave remote sensing at L-band (1.4 GHz) provides an unprecedented
opportunity to estimate global surface soil moisture (SM) and vegetation water content (via …

The Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) mission is one of the first Earth observation
satellites being developed by NASA in response to the National Research Council's …

Microwave radiometry at low frequencies (L-band: 1.4 GHz, 21 cm) is an established
technique for estimating surface soil moisture and sea surface salinity with a suitable …

This paper reviews methods for estimating evaporation from landscapes, regions and larger
geographic extents, with remotely sensed surface temperatures, and highlights uncertainties …

At the watershed scale, soil moisture is the major control for rainfall–runoff response,
especially where saturation excess runoff processes dominate. From the ecological point of …

A historical climatology of continuous satellite‐derived global land surface soil moisture is
being developed. The data consist of surface soil moisture retrievals derived from all …
