Soil moisture is a crucial component of land–atmosphere interaction systems. It has a
decisive effect on evapotranspiration and photosynthesis, which then notably impacts the …

Abstract Information about the spatiotemporal variability of soil moisture is critical for many
purposes, including monitoring of hydrologic extremes, irrigation scheduling, and prediction …

Irrigated agriculture is the principal consumer of fresh water resources. Most countries do not
have a precise measurement of water consumption for irrigation. In this study, an innovative …

Over the past four decades, satellite systems and land surface models have been used to
estimate global-scale surface soil moisture (SSM). However, in areas such as densely …

Tremendous efforts have been made for obtaining surface soil moisture (SM) at high spatial
resolutions from microwave-based products via spatial downscaling. In recent years …

Microwave radiometry has a long legacy of providing estimates of remotely sensed near
surface soil moisture measurements over continental and global scales. A consistent …

Microwave remote sensing technology has been applied to produce soil moisture (SM)
retrievals on a global scale for various studies and applications. However, due to the …

Root-zone soil moisture (RZSM) is an important variable in land–atmosphere interactions,
notably affecting the global climate system. Contrary to satellite-based acquisition of surface …

High-quality and long time-series soil moisture (SM) data are increasingly required for the
Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) to more accurately and effectively assess climate change. In …

Satellite remote sensing has been providing passive microwave soil moisture (SM) retrievals
of a global spatial coverage and a high revisit frequency for research and applications in …
