Soil moisture is an essential climate variable influencing land–atmosphere interactions, an
essential hydrologic variable impacting rainfall–runoff processes, an essential ecological …

In this opinion article, we present the Trans‐African Hydro‐Meteorological Observatory
(TAHMO). The goal of TAHMO is to develop a dense network of hydro‐meteorological …

Sustainable freshwater management is underpinned by technologies which improve the
efficiency of agricultural irrigation systems. Irrigation scheduling has the potential to …

Cosmic‐ray neutron probes are widely used to monitor environmental water content near
the surface. The method averages over tens of hectares and is unrivaled in serving …

Abstract The OPtical TRApezoid Model (OPTRAM) has recently been proposed for
estimation of soil moisture using only optical remote sensing data. The model relies on a …

Climate change increases the occurrence and severity of droughts due to increasing
temperatures, altered circulation patterns, and reduced snow occurrence. While Europe has …

Soil water content is one of the key state variables in the soil‐vegetation‐atmosphere
continuum due to its important role in the exchange of water and energy at the soil surface. A …

The cosmic‐ray probe (CRP) provides continuous estimates of soil moisture over an area
of∼ 30 ha by counting fast neutrons produced from cosmic rays which are predominantly …

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 …

Cosmic ray probes are an emerging technology to continuously monitor soil water content at
a scale significant to land surface processes. However, the application of this method is …
