Microwave-based vegetation descriptors in the parameterization of water cloud model at L-band for soil moisture retrieval over croplands

Zhen Wang et al.

Summary: Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data have great potential for soil moisture monitoring due to their high spatial resolution and independence from cloud coverage. However, retrieving soil moisture from SAR data over vegetated areas is challenging because of the significant effects of vegetation on radar signals. This study explores whether vegetation descriptors directly obtained from radar data at L-band can effectively parameterize the water cloud model (WCM) and improve soil moisture retrieval accuracy. The results indicate that the VH polarization vegetation descriptor outperforms other vegetation descriptors in investigating soil moisture for different crop types, and variations in vegetation growth significantly affect the accuracy of soil moisture retrieval.

Comprehensive assessment of Fengyun-3 satellites derived soil moisture with in-situ measurements across the globe

Yangxiaoyue Liu et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that the Fengyun-3B ascending and descending orbit soil moisture retrievals have higher spatial coverage percentages and a higher temporal coverage percentage in summer at 20-60 degrees N and 20-50 degrees S. The soil moisture products derived from both Fengyun-3B and -3C satellites show superior goodness of fit and smaller bias in in-situ measurements in the northern hemisphere.

In-situ and triple-collocation based evaluations of eight global root zone soil moisture products

Lei Xu et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the accuracy of eight RZSM products globally, with SMAP showing the highest correlation and lowest RMSE with in-situ stations in North America. In the TC analysis, MERRA-2 had the highest correlation and lowest error standard deviation with the unknown truth, followed by GLDAS, SMAP, JRA-55 and ERA-5.

The Soil Moisture Active Passive Experiments: Validation of the SMAP Products in Australia

Nan Ye et al.

Summary: The fourth and fifth Soil Moisture Active Passive Experiments (SMAPEx-4 and -5) were conducted at the beginning of the SMAP operational phase in 2015 to evaluate and compare SMAP's microwave observations and derived soil moisture products with SMOS and Aquarius missions. Results showed a high agreement between the SMAP radar, radiometer, and derived soil moisture data with the SMAPEx-4 and -5 data sets.

Evaluation of 18 satellite- and model-based soil moisture products using in situ measurements from 826 sensors

Hylke E. Beck et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the temporal dynamics of 18 state-of-the-art soil moisture products, finding that the use of the Soil Wetness Index smoothing filter improved performance for all satellite products. Among the single-sensor satellite products, the L-band-based SMAPL3ESWI performed the best; among the open-loop models, HBV-MSWEP showed the best performance; and among the models with satellite data assimilation, HBV-MSWEP+SMAPL3E performed the best.
