Title: Estimating root zone soil moisture from AMSR2 remotely sensed surface soil moisture data
Abstract: Significance of root zone soil moisture can be observed in agricultural practices and meteorological phenomenon and estimation of the same become vital. There is always a correlation between surface and root zone soil moisture and thus a relationship between satellite soil moisture, ground measured soil moisture and modelled soil moisture is investigated here. An R <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> of ~0.5 and ~0.73 is noted between the Soil Water Index (SWI), derived from AMSR2 data, ground data and GLDAS-NOAH modelled soil moisture data. The analysis is performed for IIT Kanpur for the year 2013.
