Agricultural productivity is a major contributor to the Australian economy, but is experiencing significant stress in response to climate change. Moreover, soil moisture controls vegetation dynamics that contribute to carbon storage, atmospheric processes leading to severe weather, and runoff generation processes leading to floods and runoff yield from urban water storage catchments. Consequently, high resolution time-series information on soil moisture and vegetation status from space represents a powerful tool for understanding climate change impacts on Australia. It is therefore imperative that products be developed specifically for the Australian environment to take full advantage of radar data from satellites.

农业生产率是澳大利亚经济的主要贡献者，但在应对气候变化方面正面临巨大压力。此外，土壤水分控制着导致碳储存的植被动态，导致恶劣天气的大气过程，以及导致洪水和城市蓄水集水区径流产生的径流产生过程。因此，来自太空的关于土壤水分和植被状况的高分辨率时间序列信息是了解气候变化对澳大利亚影响的有力工具。因此，必须专门为澳大利亚环境开发产品，以便充分利用来自卫星的雷达数据。
