TL;DR: It is found that both aircraft- and satellite-based re-trote sensing could provide valuable information for PCM applications, and future work should be focused on assimilating remotely sensed information into existing decision support systems (DSS), and conducting economic and technical analysis of remote sensing applications with season-long pilot projects.

TL;DR: Four soil moisture networks were developed and used as part of the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer-Earth Observing System (AMSR-E) validation program, and it is shown that there is much room for improvement in the algorithms currently in use by JAXA and NASA.

TL;DR: A water by nitrogen experiment was conducted during the 1999 cotton season near Phoenix, Arizona, where one objective was to test the ability of remotely sensed data to distinguish between water and nitrogen stress as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: Results of the validation analysis indicate that the SMOS soil moisture estimates are approaching the level of performance anticipated, based on comparisons with the in situ data and AMSR-E retrievals.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used infrared thermometric observations collected from an aircraft to estimate surface temperatures for a natural vegetative surface in Owens Valley, California, with infrared thermometrically.
