In 2009, the International Soil Moisture Network (ISMN) was initiated as a community effort,
funded by the European Space Agency, to serve as a centralised data hosting facility for …

Soil moisture (SM) is a key hydrologic state variable that is of significant importance for
numerous Earth and environmental science applications that directly impact the global …

Abstract Information about the spatiotemporal variability of soil moisture is critical for many
purposes, including monitoring of hydrologic extremes, irrigation scheduling, and prediction …

Satellite remote sensing technology has been widely used to estimate surface soil moisture.
Numerous efforts have been devoted to develop global soil moisture products. However …

In mountain terrain, well-configured high-resolution atmospheric models are able to simulate
total annual rain and snowfall better than spatial estimates derived from in situ observational …

Root zone soil moisture (RZSM) estimation and monitoring based on high spatial resolution
remote sensing information such as obtained with an Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) is of …

Currently, the ability to use remotely sensed soil moisture to investigate linkages between
the water and energy cycles and for use in data assimilation studies is limited to passive …

Soil moisture is widely recognized as a key parameter in the mass and energy balance
between the land surface and the atmosphere and, hence, the potential societal benefits of …

In this paper, we review the state of the art of characterizing and analyzing spatio-temporal
dynamics of soil moisture content at the field scale. We discuss measurement techniques …

In situ measurements of soil moisture are invaluable for calibrating and validating land
surface models and satellite-based soil moisture retrievals. In addition, long-term time series …
