With a growing number of different satellite sensors, data fusion offers great potential in many applications. In this work, convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture is presented for fusing Sentinel-1 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery and the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 (AMSR2) data. The CNN applied to prediction Arctic sea ice marine navigation as input forecast models...

Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer-2 (AMSR2) is a successor of AMSR for Earth-Observation System (AMSR-E), while the third generation (AMSR3) will be launched in near future. The AMSR2 soil moisture product also an important component Soil Moisture Operational Products (SMOPS) datasets that are operationally produced by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Refinement NOAA...

Downscaled microwave soil moisture (SM) products with a fine resolution are of great importance for both local and regional studies. However, few studies have explored the merits of multiple downscaled microwave SM products. An evaluation of the different products could help to advance knowledge of the downscaled microwave SM products and help researchers to choose the appropriate downscaled SM...

We present scientific and computing improvements to our new reconstruction model compared to a previous model. Snow water equivalent (SWE) reconstruction involves building a snowpack up in reverse, from melt out to peak SWE, given estimates of melt energy and fractional snow covered area (fSCA). The model was initially tested at an energy balance site on Mammoth Mountain, near the Upper Tuolumn...

Currently, soil-moisture data extracted from microwave suffer poor spatial resolution. To overcome this problem, study proposes a method to downscale the soil moisture The proposed establishes statistical relationship between low-spatial-resolution input and land-surface model based on neural network (NN). This is then applied high-spatial-resolution obtain data. include passive (SMAP, AMSR2), ...

Abstract. High-quality and long-term soil moisture products are significant for hydrologic monitoring agricultural management. However, the acquired daily Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 (AMSR2) incomplete in global land (just about 30 %–80 % coverage ratio), due to satellite orbit limitations of retrieval algorithms. To solve this inevitable problem, we develop a novel spatio-temporal...
