Soil Moisture Index Model for Retrieving Soil Moisture in Semiarid Regions of China

There have been some limitations in acquiring an accurate representation of remotely sensed data-derived soil moisture. Here, we propose a simplified thermal inertia model (STIM). This model requires only the albedo and surface maximum temperature easily obtained from satellite imagery, such as that...
