Developing a method for root-zone soil moisture monitoring at the field scale using remote sensing and simulation modeling by Hamideh Noory, Morteza Khoshsima, Atsushi Tsunekawa, Mitsuru Tsubo, Nigussie Haregeweyn, Salar Pashapour

“…Because of the high cost and difficulties of operation and maintenance of in situ instrumentation over irrigated fields, fine-scale monitoring of soil moisture (SM) based on remote sensing and a simulation model may be a practical way to inform irrigation practices. We herein propose a method for integration of low-cost, available, multi-source data, including field data (crop, soil, and weather) and high-resolution satellite data (Sentinel-2 and Landsat-8) into a soil–water–atmosphere–plant (SWAP) model to provide daily, accurate surface- and root-zone SM at the field scale that can inform optimal management of irrigation water. …”
