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

Root zone soil moisture (RZSM) controls vegetation transpiration and hydraulic distribution
processes and plays a key role in energy and water exchange between land surface and …

The lack of proper understanding of multi-layer soil moisture (SM) profile (signals) remains a
persistent challenge in sustainable agricultural water management and food security …

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 …

Estimating ecosystem evapotranspiration (ET) is important to understanding the global water
cycle and to study land‐atmosphere interactions. We developed a physics constrained …

Drought is a major cause of limited agricultural productivity and of crop yield uncertainty
throughout the world. For that reason, agricultural drought research and monitoring are of …

Warming temperatures tend to damage crop yields, yet the influence of water supply on
global yields and its relation to temperature stress remains unclear. Here we use satellite …

A frequently expressed viewpoint across the Earth science community is that global soil
moisture estimates from satellite L‐band (1.4 GHz) measurements represent moisture only …

Critical to the reliable application of gridded soil moisture products is a thorough assessment
of their quality at spatially compatible scales. While previous studies have attempted to …

Food and water security are considered the most critical issues globally due to the projected
population growth placing pressure on agricultural systems. Because agricultural activity is …
