摘要
Global soil moisture products retrieved from various remote sensing sensors are becoming readily available with a nearly daily temporal resolution. With lack of ground observations in Pakistan, microwave sensors are viable technologies for retrieving soil moisture from space. Thus, this study compares soil moisture data from Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) with Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer (AMSR-E) for 2010 and 2011, which were years where massive flooding occurred. We find suitable correlations (r = 0.47) for Level-2 soil moisture values for both satellites and report temporal variability during the pre-monsoon, monsoon, post-monsoon and winter seasons. This study motivates using satellite retrievals as a start towards more comprehensive studies in Pakistan.
