NASA's Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) Mission and Opportunities For Applications Users [PDF]

Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 2013
Water in the soil, both its amount (soil moisture) and its state (freeze/thaw), plays a key role in water and energy cycles, in weather and climate, and in the carbon cycle. Additionally, soil moisture touches upon human lives in a number of ways from the ravages of flooding to the needs for monitoring agricultural and hydrologic droughts.

Agricultural Drought Monitoring via the Assimilation of SMAP Soil Moisture Retrievals Into a Global Soil Water Balance Model

Frontiers in Big Data, 2020
From an agricultural perspective, drought refers to an unusual deficiency of plant available water in the root-zone of the soil profile. This paper focuses on evaluating the benefit of assimilating soil moisture retrievals from the Soil Moisture Active ...

Analyzing Effects of Crops on SMAP Satellite-Based Soil Moisture Using a Rainfall–Runoff Model in the U.S. Corn Belt

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2022
L-band microwave satellite missions provide soil moisture information potentially useful for streamflow and, hence, flood predictions. However, these observations are also sensitive to the presence of vegetation that makes satellite soil moisture ...

Introducing the SMAP L4 Products and Investigating the Spatio-Temporal Variability of Soil Moisture in Iran [PDF]

Nīvār, 2022
Background and objectives: Although estimation of soil surface moisture plays an important role in soil and water resources management, unfortunately, there is currently no national soil moisture monitoring network in Iran and the distribution of in situ
