Abstract
GCOM-W AMSR2 provides continuity following AMSR-E and the opportunity to generate a global long-term satellite soil moisture data record from the same instrument type. Various soil moisture products are being developed using AMSR observations. The JAXA soil moisture along with the Single Channel Algorithm (SCA) product were evaluated using in situ observations from different geographical domains. Both the JAXA and SCA soil moisture estimates capture the overall climatological features and the overall spatial structure of the two products is similar. The JAXA soil moisture product shows a lower dynamic range in the retrieved soil moisture. The SCA performs well over low and moderately vegetated areas. This study focuses on the development of the AMSR2 soil moisture product. Validation results using in situ observations from diverse climate and land cover conditions will be presented.
