Abstract

Field experiments have played a critical role in the development and implementation of satellite soil moisture missions. A review of key experiments is presented that includes tower-, aircraft, and satellite-focused efforts conducted over four decades that have supported two dedicated satellite missions; Soil Moisture Ocean Salinity (SMOS) and Soil Moisture Active passive (SMAP).
