Characterizing Satellite Soil Moisture Drydown: A Bivariate Filtering Approach by Jhilam Sinha, Ashish Sharma, Lucy Marshall, Seokhyeon Kim

“…Abstract Drying of soil impacts land energy and water balance, influences the sustainability of vegetation growth, and modulates hydrological extremes including floods. While satellite soil moisture data are widely used for a range of environmental applications, systematic differences from regional in‐situ data prevent their optimal use as key physical signatures (such as soil moisture recession, also termed drydown) are represented differently. …”
