CCI Soil Moisture validation paper was top-most RSE paper saved on Mendeley in 2015

A study highlighting the ‘Evaluation of the ESA CCI soil moisture product using ground-based observations` published in Remote Sensing of Environment was the top saved Remote Sensing of Environment article on Mendeley for 2015.

In this study we evaluate the skill of a new, merged soil moisture product (ECV_SM) that has been developed in the framework of the European Space Agency's Water Cycle Multi-mission Observation Strategy and Climate Change Initiative projects.

Highlights

• We validated the new multi-sensor soil moisture data set developed within ESA'S CCI.
• We used almost 600 in-situ data sets from 28 networks worldwide.
• Performance slightly increases over time but varies strongly across networks.
• A small but consistent decrease in average performance is observed after 2006.
• The observation density increases over time.
