Investigating soil moisture–climate interactions with prescribed soil moisture experiments: an assessment with the Community Earth System Model (version 1.2) [PDF]
Land surface hydrology is an important control of surface weather and climate. A valuable technique to investigate this link is the prescription of soil moisture in land surface models, which leads to a decoupling of the atmosphere and land processes ...

Mapping the spatial variation of soil moisture at the large scale using GPR for pavement applications [PDF]
The characterization of shallow soil moisture spatial variability at the large scale is a crucial issue in many research studies and fields of application ranging from agriculture and geology to civil and environmental engineering.

Regional quantification of energy and water balance fluxes depends inevitably on the estimation of surface and rootzone soil moisture. The simulation of soil moisture depends on the soil retention characteristics, which are difficult to estimate at a ...

Temporal stability of soil moisture and radar backscatter observed by the advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar (ASAR) [PDF]
The high spatio-temporal variability of soil moisture is the result of atmospheric forcing and redistribution processes related to terrain, soil, and vegetation characteristics.

The impact of land surface temperature on soil moisture anomaly detection from passive microwave observations [PDF]
For several years passive microwave observations have been used to retrieve soil moisture from the Earth's surface. Low frequency observations have the most sensitivity to soil moisture, therefore the current Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) and ...

Estimation of subsurface soil moisture from surface soil moisture in cold mountainous areas [PDF]
Abstract. Profile soil moisture (SM) in mountainous areas are significant in water resources management and ecohydrological studies of downstream arid watersheds. Satellite products are useful in providing spatially distributed SM information, but only have limited penetration depth (e.g. top 5 cm).

Ensemble Kalman smoother for soil moisture data assimilation
To study the influence of soil texture and organic matter on soil moisture assimilation when observation data are rare,we develop a soil moisture assimilation scheme based on ensemble Kalman filter(EnKF) and ensemble Kalman smoother(EnKS).
