Active Radar Soil Moisture Products for Water use Efficiency Estimation
Abstract
The protection of water resources becomes more important with the increasing number of climate hazards. In order to protect water resources we have to fully understand the relationships between carbon and hydrological cycles and how these alter with increasing frequency of climate hazards. Numerous methods have been developed in order to monitor absorbed carbon, evapotranspiration, and soil moisture. Here, methods and current missions for soil moisture assessment at regional and global level will be introduced and their role in estimation of water use efficiency will be highlighted. Additionally, upscaling of soil moisture from local to regional scale will be discussed.
