Validating SMAP SSS with in situ measurements [PDF]
Sea surface salinity (SSS) retrieved from SMAP radiometer measurements are validated against in situ salinity from Argo floats, tropical moored buoys and ship-based thermosalinograph (TSG) data. SMAP SSS achieved an accuracy of 0.2 PSU on a monthly basis

Seasonal Evaluation of SMAP Soil Moisture in the U.S. Corn Belt
NASA’s Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) Level 2 soil moisture products are not meeting mission goals in the U.S. Corn Belt according to our seasonal evaluation conducted at a SMAP Core Validation Site in central Iowa.

Controls on surface soil drying rates observed by SMAP and simulated by the Noah land surface model [PDF]
Drydown periods that follow precipitation events provide an opportunity to assess controls on soil evaporation on a continental scale. We use SMAP (Soil Moisture Active Passive) observations and Noah simulations from drydown periods to quantify the ...

SMAP Salinity Retrievals near the Sea-Ice Edge Using Multi-Channel AMSR2 Brightness Temperatures
Sea-ice contamination in the antenna field of view constitutes a large error source in retrieving sea-surface salinity (SSS) with the spaceborne Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) L-band radiometer.

First Evaluation of Topography on GNSS-R: An Empirical Study Based on a Digital Elevation Model
Understanding the effects of Earth’s surface topography on Global Navigation Satellite Systems Reflectometry (GNSS-R) space-borne data is important to calibrate experimental measurements, so as to provide accurate soil moisture content (SMC ...

Corynoxine exerts potent broad‐spectrum anticancer activity by directly targeting NQO1. This interaction dissociates the oncogenic NQO1‐PTPA complex, releasing PTPA to robustly activate the tumor suppressor PP2A. Consequently, downstream Raf/MEK/ERK and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways are suppressed, downregulating c‐Myc and driving tumor regression ...

ABSTRACT A recent UN report describes many regions as facing ‘water bankruptcy,’ a condition in which available water resources can no longer meet existing demands. In practice, this means irrigation will likely bear the greatest burden of future water‐use reductions, a complicated and fraught decision to make given its critical role in food security ...

Live fuel moisture (LFM) is a field-measured indicator of vegetation water content and a crucial observation of vegetation flammability. This study presents a new multi-variant regression model to estimate LFM in the Mediterranean ecosystem of Southern ...
