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 content has paramount importance in dictating engineering, agronomic,
geological, ecological, biological and hydrological characteristics of the soil mass. Though …

The amount of surface soil moisture (SSM) is a crucial ecohydrological natural resource that
regulates important land surface processes. It affects critical land–atmospheric phenomena …

The year 2012 marks a decade of observations undertaken by the US Climate Reference
Network (USCRN) under the auspices of NOAA's National Climatic Data Center and …

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 …

Validation is an important and particularly challenging task for remote sensing of soil
moisture. A key issue in the validation of soil moisture products is the disparity in spatial …
