Soil Moisture‐Temperature Coupling in a Set of Land Surface Models [PDF]
AbstractThe land surface controls the partitioning of water and energy fluxes and therefore plays a crucial role in the climate system. The coupling between soil moisture and air temperature, in particular, has been shown to affect the severity and occurrence of temperature extremes and heat waves.

A proposal for a SAR interferometric model of soil moisture [PDF]
Since long it is known that SAR interferometric observables are influenced by soil moisture variations, however there is a lack of scattering models that link interferometric observables and variations of the dielectric properties.

Decomposing Dual Scale Soil Surface Roughness for Microwave Remote Sensing Applications [PDF]
Soil surface roughness, as investigated in this study, is decomposed in a dual scale process. Therefore, we investigated photogrammetrically acquired roughness information over different agricultural fields in the size of 6-22 m(2) and decomposed them ...

Estimating root zone soil moisture from surface soil moisture data and soil‐vegetation‐atmosphere transfer modeling [PDF]
We studied the possibility of estimating root zone soil moisture through the combined use of a time series of observed surface soil moisture data and soil‐vegetation‐atmosphere transfer modeling. The analysis was based on the interactions between soil‐ biosphere‐atmosphere surface scheme and two data sets obtained from soybean crops in 1989 and 1990 ...
