Estimation of soil moisture from climatic data

Soil Moisture Estimation by Ann Using Bistatic Scatterometer Data

The microwave response of bare soil surfaces is influenced by a variety of parameters such as surface roughness, vegetation density, soil texture and soil moisture. It makes the soil moisture estimation process more complex. In such condition, the estimation of the soil moisture using microwave data with fast and less complex computing technique is a significant area of research today. The arti...

Estimating Soil Moisture Profile Dynamics from Near-surface Soil Moisture Measurements and Standard Meteorological Data

Recent Advances in Soil Moisture Estimation from Remote Sensing

Monitoring soil moisture dynamics from local to global scales is essential for a wide range of applications. The field of remote sensing of soil moisture has expanded greatly and the first dedicated soil moisture satellite missions (SMOS, SMAP) were launched, and new missions, such as SENTINEL-1 provide long-term perspectives for land surface monitoring. This special issue aims to summarize the...

Diurnal Method for Evapotranspiration Estimation from Soil Moisture Profile

Water use of plants can be manifested in diurnal signal of soil moisture changes, and also of water table fluctuations in shallow water table environments. The signal can be especially strong in case of groundwater dependent forest vegetation with high water demand, where the water uptake is partly happening across the capillary zone. A new technique for water uptake estimation was elaborated o...
