A Physically Based Soil Moisture Index From Passive Microwave Brightness Temperatures for Soil Moisture Variation Monitoring

Soil moisture is a pivotal hydrological variable that links the terrestrial water, energy, and carbon cycles. In this article, a new soil moisture (SM) index (SMI), which aims to capture the temporal variability of SM, irrespective of cloud cover and solar illumination, was developed by using the L-...
