TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive assessment of the reliability of soil moisture estimations from the Advanced SCATterometer (ASCAT) and AMSR-E sensors is carried out by using observed and modelled soil moisture data over 17 sites located in 4 countries across Europe (Italy, Spain, France and Luxembourg).

TL;DR: The Advanced Scatterometer (ASCAT) is a C-band active microwave remote sensing instrument flown on board of the Meteorological Operational (METOP) satellite series as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of the ESA CCI soil moisture product using ground-based observations
Wouter Dorigo,Alexander Gruber,R.A.M. de Jeu,Wolfgang Wagner,Tobias Stacke,Alexander Loew,Clément Albergel,Luca Brocca,Daniel Chung,Robert Parinussa,R. Kidd +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the skill of a new, merged soil moisture product (ECV_SM) that has been developed in the framework of the European Space Agency's Water Cycle Multi-mission Observation Strategy and Climate Change Initiative projects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial-temporal variability of soil moisture and its estimation across scales
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a portable Time Domain Reflectometer (TDRS) to measure the soil moisture at the field and catchment scale. But the accuracy of the measured soil moisture was only 2.38%.
