Soil moisture is an important component of the Earth system and plays a key role in land-
atmosphere interactions. Remote sensing of soil moisture is of great scientific interest and …

Irrigation is the largest human intervention in the water cycle that can modulate climate
extremes, yet irrigation water use (IWU) remains largely unknown in most regions …

With the improvement of meteorological forcings and surface parameters, high-resolution
land surface modeling is expected to provide locally relevant information. Yet, its added …

Soil moisture plays a key role in soil nutrient and carbon cycling; plant productivity; and
energy, water, and greenhouse gas exchanges between the land and the atmosphere. The …

Despite long‐standing efforts, hydrologists still lack robust tools for calibrating land surface
model (LSM) streamflow estimates within ungauged basins. Using surface soil moisture …

Measurement of water content in forest habitats is considered essential in ecological
research on forests, climate change, or forest management. In the traditional forest habitat …

Understanding contributions of advanced land surface models and high‐resolution model
inputs (eg, meteorological forcings and soil parameters) to root‐zone soil moisture (RSM) …

Soil moisture (SM) and soil temperature (ST) are critical state variables for characterizing the
land surface, among which SM is recognized as an Essential Climate Variable necessary to …

Terrestrial water budget (TWB) data over large domains are of high interest for various
hydrological applications. Spatiotemporally continuous and physically consistent …

Accurately representing land–atmosphere (LA) interactions and coupling in NWP systems
remains a challenge. New observations, incorporated into models via assimilation or …
