Validating coarse scale remote sensing soil moisture products requires a comparison of
gridded data to point-like ground measurements. The necessary aggregation of in situ …

An adequate characterization of surface roughness is crucial to obtain reliable backscatter
simulation results from existing analytical backscattering models. The surface roughness is …

Soil moisture is a key variable that defines land surface-atmosphere (boundary layer)
interactions, by contributing directly to the surface energy and water balance. Soil moisture …

This work comprises combining the passive radiometer (SMAP) and active scatterometer
(ASCAT) remotely sensed surface soil moisture datasets by employing cumulative …

Soil moisture is one of the key variables controlling the water and energy exchanges
between Earth's surface and the atmosphere. Therefore, remote sensing based soil moisture …
