RISASCAT Soil Moisture: An Assessment of the Data Quality and Consistency with the ERS Scatterometer Heritage
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This article presents a first comparison between remotely sensed surface soil moisture retrieved with the European Remote Sensing Satellite-2 (ERS-2) scatterometer (SCAT) and the corresponding product provided by the ...
Evaluation of the ERS Scatterometer-Derived Soil Water Index to Monitor Water Availability and Precipitation Distribution at Three Different Scales in China
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this paper, the capability of the European Remote Sensing Satellite (ERS) scatterometer-derived soil water index (SWI) data to disclose water availability and precipitation distribution in China is investigated. Monthly ...
Impact of ASCAT Soil Moisture Assimilation on Regional Precipitation Forecasts: A Case Study for Austria
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n this study, remotely sensed soil moisture data from the Advanced Scatterometer (ASCAT) on board the Meteorological Operational (MetOp) series of satellites are assimilated in the regional forecasting model, Aire Limitée ...
How Oceanic Oscillation Drives Soil Moisture Variations over Mainland Australia: An Analysis of 32 Years of Satellite Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ustralia is frequently subject to droughts and floods. Its hydrology is strongly connected to oceanic and atmospheric oscillations (climate modes) such as the El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO), Indian Ocean dipole (IOD), ...
Integration of Satellite Soil Moisture and Rainfall Observations over the Italian Territory
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: tate-of-the-art rainfall products obtained by satellites are often the only way of measuring rainfall in remote areas of the world. However, it is well known that they may fail in properly reproducing the amount of ...
The Impact of Quadratic Nonlinear Relations between Soil Moisture Products on Uncertainty Estimates from Triple Collocation Analysis and Two Quadratic Extensions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he error characterization of soil moisture products, for example, obtained from microwave remote sensing data, is a key requirement for using these products in applications like numerical weather prediction. The error ...
An Intercomparison of ERS-Scat and AMSR-E Soil Moisture Observations with Model Simulations over France
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper presents a study undertaken in preparation of the work leading up to the assimilation of Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) observations into the land surface model (LSM) Interaction Soil Biosphere Atmosphere ...
Toward Global Drought Early Warning Capability: Expanding International Cooperation for the Development of a Framework for Monitoring and Forecasting
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: s a global problem that has far-reaching impacts, especially on vulnerable populations in developing regions. This paper highlights the need for a Global Drought Early Warning System (GDEWS), the elements that constitute ...
