Modeling soil moisture from rainfall: An evaluation of the diagnostic soil moisture equation

open access: yesVadose Zone Journal, Volume 25, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract The diagnostic soil moisture equation (DSME), which estimates soil moisture from antecedent precipitation, can be used to gap‐fill and extend existing in situ records. We train and evaluate the DSME at 157 Soil Climate Analysis Network and 113 US Climate Reference Network (USCRN) stations across the contiguous United States.

Frozen Soil Hydrological Processes and Their Effects: A Review and Synthesis

open access: yesReviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Frozen soils, including seasonally frozen ground and permafrost, are rapidly changing under a warming climate, with cascading effects on water, energy, and carbon cycles. We synthesize recent advances in the physics, observation, and modeling of frozen‐soil hydrology, emphasizing freeze–thaw dynamics, infiltration regimes and preferential flow,

Meteorological to Agricultural Drought Transitions Compounded by Heat Waves in Historical and Future Climates

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Meteorological droughts (persistent precipitation deficits) often, but not always, transition into agricultural droughts (persistent soil moisture deficits). The intensity of agricultural drought, however, can vary for a given precipitation deficit due to a number of catalyzing co‐factors beyond precipitation such as atmospheric evaporative ...

Reconstruction of a Global 9 km, 8-Day SMAP Surface Soil Moisture Dataset during 2015–2020 by Spatiotemporal Fusion

open access: yesJournal of Remote Sensing, 2022
Soil moisture, a crucial property for Earth surface research, has been focused widely in various studies. The Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) global products at 36 km and 9 km (called P36 and AP9 in this research) have been published from April 2015.

Quantifying Historical and Future Surface Soil Moisture Drying Using Deep Learning and Remote Sensing

open access: yesEarth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Understanding historical and future surface soil moisture (SSM) drying is pivotal due to its close links with droughts, heatwaves, and wildfires, yet debates regarding its evolution persist. In this study, we leverage advanced deep learning techniques to fill gaps of remote sensing‐based SSM data during 1983–2020 and therefore use these gap ...

INVESTIGATING THE POSSIBILITY OF PREPARING SMALL SCALE SOIL MOISTURE MAP FROM COUPLED SENTINEL-1 AND SENTINEL-2 DATA [PDF]

open access: yesThe International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2019
With the failure of the radar instrument on NASA's Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) satellite, the Sentinel-1 sensor has been considered as an alternative for replacing the SMAP radar data and restoring the combined radar and radiometer SMC product. A
