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 …

Two passive microwave missions are currently operating at L-band to monitor surface soil
moisture (SM) over continental surfaces. The SMOS sensor, based on an innovative …

In traditional GNSS applications, signals arriving at a receiver's antenna from nearby
reflecting surfaces (multipath) interfere with the signals received directly from the satellites …

In this paper, we review the state of the art of characterizing and analyzing spatio-temporal
dynamics of soil moisture content at the field scale. We discuss measurement techniques …

Time-series retrievals of soil moisture obtained from the Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite
System (CYGNSS) constellation are presented. The retrieval approach assumes that …

The Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission is European Space Agency (ESA's)
second Earth Explorer Opportunity mission, launched in November 2009. It is a joint …

Studies conducted on resource management in wireless sensor networks have identified
energy efficient routing protocols as one of the energy saving mechanisms that can be used …

The main difference between the wireless underground sensor networks (WUSNs) and the
terrestrial wireless sensor networks is the signal propagation medium. The underground is a …

Substantial advances in the measurement of water content and bulk soil electrical
conductivity (EC) using time domain reflectometry (TDR) have been made in the last two …

This work introduces the concept of a Wireless Underground Sensor Network (WUSN).
WUSNs can be used to monitor a variety of conditions, such as soil properties for agricultural …
