Global downscaling of remotely sensed soil moisture using neural networks [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2018
Characterizing soil moisture at spatiotemporal scales relevant to land surface processes (i.e., of the order of 1 km) is necessary in order to quantify its role in regional feedbacks between the land surface and the atmospheric boundary layer ...

Fostering applications opportunities for the NASA Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) Mission [PDF]

2010 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2010
The NASA Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) Mission will provide global observations of soil moisture and freeze/thaw state from space. We outline how priority applications contributed to the SMAP mission measurement requirements and how the SMAP mission plans to foster applications and applied science.

Validation of the Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) satellite soil moisture retrieval in an Arctic tundra environment [PDF]

Geophysical Research Letters, 2017
AbstractThis study examines the Soil Moisture Active Passive soil moisture product on the Equal Area Scalable Earth‐2 (EASE‐2) 36 km Global cylindrical and North Polar azimuthal grids relative to two in situ soil moisture monitoring networks that were installed in 2015 and 2016.

Assessment of SMAP and SMOS soil moisture products using triple collocation method over Inner Mongolia

Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies, 2022
Soil moisture (SM) is an indispensable variable in drought monitoring and weather forecast. L-band is found to be the most suitable band for retrieving surface SM.

SMAP soil moisture drying more rapid than observed in situ following rainfall events

Geophysical Research Letters, 2016
We examine soil drying rates by comparing surface soil moisture observations from the NASA Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) mission to those from networks of in situ probes upscaled to SMAP's sensing footprint.

Soil Moisture Active/Passive (SMAP) L-Band Microwave Radiometer Post-Launch Calibration Upgrade [PDF]

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2019
The Soil Moisture Active/Passive (SMAP) microwave radiometer is a fully polarimetric L-band radiometer flown on the SMAP satellite in a 6 AM/6 PM sun-synchronous orbit at 685 km altitude. After the SMAP L1B_TB data product version 3 was released in 2016, the radiometer has been undergoing further calibration and validation with the goal of reducing ...
