TL;DR: This article covers the development and assessment of the SMAP Level 2 Enhanced Passive Soil Moisture Product (L2_SM_P_E) and affirmed that the Single Channel Algorithm using the V-polarized TB channel (SCA-V) delivered the best retrieval performance among the various algorithms implemented for L2-SM-P, a result similar to a previous assessment.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The Level-4 Surface and Root-Zone Soil Moisture (L4_SM) data product is generated by assimilating SMAP L-band brightness temperature observations into the NASA Catchment land surface model as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
SMAP soil moisture drying more rapid than observed in situ following rainfall events
P. J. Shellito,Eric E. Small,Andreas Colliander,Rajat Bindlish,Michael H. Cosh,Aaron A. Berg,David D. Bosch,Todd G. Caldwell,David C. Goodrich,H. McNairn,John H. Prueger,Patrick J. Starks,Rogier van der Velde,Jeffrey P. Walker +13 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined soil drying rates by comparing surface soil moisture observations from the NASA Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) mission to those from networks of in situ probes upscaled to SMAP's sensing footprint.
Journal ArticleDOI
