Ecohydrology: A Hydrologic Perspective ofClimateSoilVegetation Dynamies
The hydrologic mechanisms underlying the climate-soil-vegetation dynamics and thus controlling the most basic ecologic patterns and processes are described as one very exciting research frontier for the years to come. In this personal opinion I have concentrated on those processes where soil moisture is the key link between climate fluctuations and vegetation dynamics in space and time. The soi...
متن کاملUsing Envisat Scansar Data for Characterising Scaling Properties of Scatterometer Derived Soil Moisture Information over Southern Africa
Spaceborne scatterometers and radiometers offer soil moisture information with resolutions in the order of a few tens of kilometres. However, hydrologic users often request a resolution in the order of 1 km. Based on the insight that surface soil moisture in part is driven by large scale atmospheric forcing, a temporal analysis was carried out between backscatter on a local (1 km) and a regiona...
متن کاملVerification Using Remotely Sensed Data
Soil moisture is an important hydrologic variable that controls various land surface processes. In spite of its importance to agriculture and drought monitoring, soil moisture information is not widely available on a regional scale. However, long-term soil moisture information is essential for agricultural drought monitoring and crop yield prediction. The hydrologic model Soil and Water Assessm...
متن کاملLarge scale evaluation of AMSR soil moisture products based on ground soil moisture network measurements
This paper presents an evaluation of AMSR (Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer) soil moisture products, based on the comparison with three ground soil moisture networks. The selected ground sites are representative of various climatic, hydrologic and environmental conditions in temperate and semi-arid areas. They are located in the south-west of France, in the south-east of Australia and in ...
