Estimate soil moisture using trapezoidal relationship between remotely sensed land surface temperature and vegetation index

Land data assimilation systems (LDAS) are needed to integrate satellite data providing information about land state variables such as the surface soil moisture (SSM) and leaf area

After a description of the ECMWF’s analysis and soil moisture products used in this study, the new bare ground evaporation formulation is presented followed by a descrip- tion of the

Three different data products from the SMOS mission are assimilated separately into the GEOS-5 land surface model to improve estimates of surface and root-zone soil moisture and

The most accurate results in the Valencia site were obtained using the SW algorithm with the exception of ASWf. The low accuracy of the DA method is due to the directional effects

For this purpose, we trained the ANN model using MODIS atmospheric profile product of air temperature, dew point temperature, solar zenith angle and land

The LOPEX series were successful in collecting measurements data of the land sur- face energy fluxes, soil temperature and moisture, and near surface layer meteo- rological
