The 11th Webinar on the EO AFRICA R&D Facility Webinar Series is now available in our YouTube channel:
Surface Soil Moisture products at continental scale
The webinar gives an overview of high-resolution (1 km) satellite soil moisture data sets available at continental to global scale. These data sets are either derived by downscaling coarse resolution data from passive (SMAP, SMOS, AMSR2) and active (ASCAT) microwave sensors using optical or Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data, or by deriving the soil moisture data directly from only the SAR data. The presentation is focused on the latter type of products, explaining how soil moisture data can be derived from Sentinel-1 SAR time series, and how these data might be used for monitoring rainfall and irrigation.
The webinar is executed under the framework of the EO AFRICA R&D Facility by TU Wien.
