Journal ArticleDOI
Soil moisture mapping at regional scales using microwave radiometry: the Southern Great Plains Hydrology Experiment
Thomas J. Jackson,D.M. Le Vine,A.Y. Hsu,A. Oldak,Patrick J. Starks,Calvin T. Swift,J.D. Isham,M. Haken +7 more
TL;DR: Surface soil moisture retrieval algorithms based on passive microwave observations, developed and verified at high spatial resolution, were evaluated in a regional scale experiment and showed that soil texture dominated the spatial pattern at this scale.
Journal ArticleDOI
Validation of Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer Soil Moisture Products
Thomas J. Jackson,Michael H. Cosh,Rajat Bindlish,Patrick J. Starks,David D. Bosch,Mark S. Seyfried,David C. Goodrich,M.S. Moran,Jinyang Du +8 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
A thermal-based remote sensing technique for routine mapping of land-surface carbon, water and energy fluxes from field to regional scales
Martha C. Anderson,John M. Norman,William P. Kustas,Rasmus Houborg,Patrick J. Starks,Nurit Agam +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, an analytical, light-use efficiency (LUE) based model of canopy resistance within a Two-Source Energy Balance (TSEB) scheme driven primarily by thermal remote sensing inputs was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Validation of Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) Soil Moisture Over Watershed Networks in the U.S.
Thomas J. Jackson,Rajat Bindlish,Michael H. Cosh,Tianjie Zhao,Patrick J. Starks,David D. Bosch,Mark S. Seyfried,M.S. Moran,David C. Goodrich,Yann Kerr,Delphine Leroux +10 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temporal stability of surface soil moisture in the Little Washita River watershed and its applications in satellite soil moisture product validation
TL;DR: In this paper, the concept of temporal stability is used to identify persistent soil moisture patterns and estimate the large scale average from select representative sensor locations, which can provide an efficient means to large-scale satellite validation.
