Mapping Soil Moisture from Satellites to Centimetres: A Two-Step Random Forest Downscaling Framework
How do you see soil moisture at the scale of a single field when your data comes from space? Satellite and land-surface-model products map surface soil moisture across whole regions, but only at kilometre-scale resolution…

This week we launched the first IAHS Academy course: “Advanced Hydrological Monitoring”, hosted by Eastern Institute of Technology (EIT), Ningbo, China. A strong, highly engaged cohort of students is joining us to work hands-on across key themes in next-generation…
PROGRAM Monday, May 12, 2025: Traveling and Arrival Arrival of OurMED partners at Napoli International Airport. Transfer from the airport by Taxi (cost about 28 euro) or by Bus. Accommodation: You can have an accommodation…
The Unsolved Problems in Hydrology (UPH) initiative has emphasized the need to establish networks of multi-decadal hydrological observatories to gain a deep understanding of the complex hydrologic processes occurring within diverse environmental conditions. The already…
Co-organized by ESSI4, co-sponsored by IAHS Convener: Salvatore Manfreda Co-conveners: Khim Cathleen SaddiECS, Francesca Uguagliati, Nick van de Giesen, Konstantinos Soulis Effective and enhanced hydrological monitoring is essential for understanding water-related processes in our rapidly changing world. Image-based…
In addition to surface soil moisture (SSM) data, root zone soil moisture (RZSM) is particularly significant for irrigation decision-making and agricultural drought warnings since water uptake generally occurs through the root systems of plants. In…
In addition to technical issues related to the instruments used, differences between soil moisture (SM) measured using ground-based methods and microwave remote sensing (RS) can be related to the main features of the study areas,…
As part of the Erasmus+ program, the University of Naples (UNINA), Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ), Carinthia University of Applied Sciences (CUAS), University of Debrecen (UD), Politehnica University Timisoara (PUT), University of Twente (UT),…
Accurate information on surface soil moisture (SSM) content at a global scale under different climatic conditions is important for hydrological and climatological applications. Machine-learning-based systematic integration of in situ hydrological measurements, complex environmental and climate data,…
Code for the application of the SMAR model (Manfreda et al., 2014) and its calibration when root-zone soil moisture data are available for parameter calibration. Available on Zenodo References Manfreda, S., L. Brocca, T. Moramarco,…
The study centered on the comprehensive assessment of satellite-based microwave soil moisture (SM) products across Europe, taking into account crucial variables including geographical diversity, climate dynamics, and land cover variations. We systematically compared SM products…
Seven of the accomplished authors who have made significant contributions to our latest Book on Unmanned Aerial Systems (https://lnkd.in/d67imFHS) have achieved a remarkable milestone in 2023 by being recognized as “World’s Top 2% Scientists.” This…
The book, “Unmanned Aerial Systems for Monitoring Soil, Vegetation, and Riverine Environment”, provides a comprehensive exploration of the applications, technologies, and methodologies related to the use of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) in monitoring and assessing…
Dear Colleagues, Soil Moisture (SM) is a vital element in the hydrological cycle and land–atmosphere interactions. Quantification of SM and its spatiotemporal variability is valuable for understanding water availability in agriculture, ecosystem states, river basin…
