Researchers develop new approaches to assess spatial representativeness of soil moisture stations
Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain A research team at the Aerospace Information Research Institute (AIR) at the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a new framework for globally assessing the spatial representation of soil moisture stations. Their study found that approximately 63% of existing soil moisture observation stations certainly reflect satellite pixel-scale conditions. Published in the IEEE Transactions on Earth Science…
