Satellite remote sensing technology has been widely used to estimate surface soil moisture.
Numerous efforts have been devoted to develop global soil moisture products. However …

Low frequency passive microwave remote sensing is a proven technology for providing soil
moisture estimates, but the coarse resolution of its data restricts the range of applications …

Core Ideas Satellites, particularly at L‐band frequency, can globally map near‐surface soil
moisture. Near‐surface moisture is extended to the root zone using models and data …

The low-resolution characteristic of passive microwave surface soil moisture (SSM) products
greatly limits their application in many fields at regional or local scale. Aiming to overcome …

Surface soil moisture (SSM), as a vital variable for water and heat exchanges between the
land surface and the atmosphere, is essential for agricultural production and drought …

Drought is one of the major hazards that could have a significant impact on agriculture. In
this study, two drought indices at high spatial resolution: Soil Water Deficit Index (SWDI) and …

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 …

Soil moisture at high spatial resolution is required for various land processes related studies.
However, currently the resolution of passive microwave retrieved soil moisture is low …

Abstract The SMOS (Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity) mission provides surface soil
moisture (SM) maps at a mean resolution of~ 50 km. However, agricultural applications …

The Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) mission provides a global surface soil moisture
(SM) product at 36-km resolution from its L-band radiometer. While the coarse resolution is …
