The European Space Agency's Climate Change Initiative for Soil Moisture (ESA CCI SM)
merging algorithm generates consistent quality-controlled long-term (1978–2018) climate …

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

We propose a method for merging soil moisture retrievals from spaceborne active and
passive microwave instruments based on weighted averaging taking into account the error …

In this study we evaluate the skill of a new, merged soil moisture product (ECV_SM) that has
been developed in the framework of the European Space Agency's Water Cycle Multi …

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 …

Soil moisture is a critical component of the climate system due to the link it provides between
atmospheric and terrestrial energy, water, and carbon cycles. A better understanding of …

Abstract The International Soil Moisture Network (ISMN) was initiated in 2009 to support
calibration and validation of remote sensing products and land surface models, and to …

While soil moisture information is essential for a wide range of hydrologic and climate
applications, spatially-continuous soil moisture data is only available from satellite …

Soil moisture is an essential climate variable and a key parameter in hydrology, meteorology
and agriculture. Surface Soil Moisture (SSM) can be estimated from measurements taken by …
