Abstract Advances in Earth Observation (EO) technology, particularly over the last two
decades, have shown that soil moisture content (SMC) can be measured to some degree or …

Many physical, chemical and biological processes taking place at the land surface are
strongly influenced by the amount of water stored within the upper soil layers. Therefore …

Abstract Climate Data Records of soil moisture are fundamental for improving our
understanding of long-term dynamics in the coupled water, energy, and carbon cycles over …

In just the past 5 years, the field of Earth observation has progressed beyond the offerings of
conventional space-agency-based platforms to include a plethora of sensing opportunities …

This paper outlines a new strategy to derive evaporation from satellite observations. The
approach uses a variety of satellite-sensor products to estimate daily evaporation at a global …

In situ measurements of soil moisture are invaluable for calibrating and validating land
surface models and satellite-based soil moisture retrievals. In addition, long-term time series …

A series of satellite-based passive and active microwave instruments provide soil moisture
retrievals spanning altogether more than three decades. This offers the opportunity to …

Long-term and large-scale remotely sensed and reanalysis soil moisture products of the
Tibetan Plateau are very important for understanding the land–atmosphere interactions in …

Global soil moisture products retrieved from various remote sensing sensors are becoming
readily available with a nearly daily temporal resolution. Active and passive microwave …

A historical climatology of continuous satellite‐derived global land surface soil moisture is
being developed. The data consist of surface soil moisture retrievals derived from all …
