Optimized Soil Moisture Mapping Strategies on the Tibetan Plateau Using Downscaled and Interpolated Maps as Mutual Covariates by Mo Zhang, Yong Ge, Jianghao Wang

“…We assessed mapping performance in terms of prediction accuracy and differences in spatial coverage. The results indicated that introducing interpolated soil moisture maps into the downscaling strategy significantly improved prediction accuracy (RMSE: −5.94%, correlation coefficient: +14.02%) but was limited to localized spatial coverage (6.9% of grid cells) near in situ sites. …”
