Soil Moisture

Soil moisture will be retrieved from ESCAT using the Water Retrieval Package developed at TU Wien, based on the TU Wien change detection method. The resulting product will demonstrate interoperability with Metop ASCAT and will be validated against ERA5-Land modelled soil moisture and in situ observations from the International Soil Moisture Network (ISMN). To further assess consistency across missions, the use case example will be extended to include ASCAT data, and trends or discontinuities during sensor transitions will be evaluated across various land cover types and climatic regions.
