New Downscaling Approach Using ESA CCI SM Products for Obtaining High Resolution Surface Soil Moisture [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2020 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.

Assessment of observed and model-derived soil moisture-evaporative fraction relationships over the United States Southern Great Plains [PDF]
, 2014 The relationship between soil moisture (SM) and evaporative fraction (EF) is an important component of land-atmosphere interactions. Frequently, land-atmosphere studies are based on land-surface models and not on observations.

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2023 Evapotranspiration (ET) constitutes the water exchange from land to the atmosphere, which in turn modulates precipitation and soil moisture (SM). Multiple lines of evidence document complex feedbacks between changes in ET and temperature, atmospheric CO2

Three-dimensional hydrological thresholds to predict shallow landslides
Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2023 Past studies have focused on the importance of hydrological variables in analyzing landslide initiation condition. Even though precipitation is the main driver of shallow landslides and debris flows, use of only rainfall-based parameters has shown some ...
