An Approach for Downscaling SMAP Soil Moisture by Combining Sentinel-1 SAR and MODIS Data

A method is proposed for the production of downscaled soil moisture active passive (SMAP) soil moisture (SM) data by combining optical/infrared data with synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data based on the random forest (RF) model. The method leverages the sensitivity of active microwaves to surface SM...
