We encourage submissions related to soil moisture remote sensing, including:
- Field experiment, theoretical advances in microwave modelling and calibration/validation activities.
- High spatial resolution soil moisture estimation based on e.g. Sentinel observations, GNSS reflections, or using novel downscaling methods.
- Preparation of future missions including CIMR, Metop-SG/SCA, SMOS-High Resolution, Terrestrial Water Resources Satellite, etc.
- Root zone soil moisture retrieval and soil moisture data assimilation in land surface models, hydrological models and in Numerical Weather Prediction models.
- Evaluation and trend analysis of soil moisture climate data records such as the ESA CCI soil moisture product as well as soil moisture from re-analysis.
- Inter-comparison and inter-validation between land surface models, remote sensing approaches and in-situ validation networks.
- Uncertainty characterization across scales.
- Soil moisture reference networks.
- Application of satellite soil moisture products for improving hydrological applications.
