SGD-SM 2.0: an improved seamless global daily soil moisture long-term dataset from 2002 to 2022 [PDF]
The drawbacks of low-coverage rate in global land inevitably exist in satellite-based daily soil moisture products because of the satellite orbit covering scopes and the limitations of soil moisture retrieving models.

Spatial Evaluation of Soil Moisture (SM), Land Surface Temperature (LST), and LST-Derived SM Indexes Dynamics during SMAPVEX12. [PDF]
Downscaling microwave soil moisture (SM) with optical/thermal remote sensing data has considerable application potential. Spatial correlations between SM and land surface temperature (LST) or LST-derived SM indexes (SMIs) are vital to the current optical/thermal and microwave fusion downscaling methods.

Downscaling Microwave Soil Moisture Products with SM-RDNet for Semiarid Mining Areas
Surface soil moisture (SM), as a crucial ecological element, is significant to monitor in semiarid mining areas characterized by aridity and little rainfall. The passive microwave remote sensing, which is not affected by weather, provides more accurate SM information, but the resolution is too coarse for mining areas. The existing downscaling method is

Analyzing the Effects of Sea Surface Temperature (SST) on Soil Moisture (SM) in Coastal Areas of Eastern China [PDF]
In this paper, we applied the re-analysis data cobe-SST (cobe-sea surface temperature) and Global Land Data Assimilation System (GLDAS) surface soil moisture (SM) data from 1961 to 2011 by using regional correlation analysis and time series causality analysis to trace annual variations in and identify the abnormal relationship of sea surface ...

New Downscaling Approach Using ESA CCI SM Products for Obtaining High Resolution Surface Soil Moisture [PDF]
ESA CCI SM products have provided remotely-sensed surface soil moisture (SSM) content with the best spatial and temporal coverage thus far, although its output spatial resolution of 25 km is too coarse for many regional and local applications. The downscaling methodology presented in this paper improves ESA CCI SM spatial resolution to 1 km using two ...
