Soil moisture is a highly critical resource for the Australian agricultural economy which is stressed by climate change. Daily monitoring of paddock scale soil moisture from space represents a powerful tool to inform land management, allowing accurate crop yield and pasture growth predictions. At the continental scale, soil moisture information will result in better weather, climate and extreme flood prediction skill and the ability to assess the effects of future climate change on Australia. It is therefore imperative that active-passive soil moisture retrieval algorithms be developed specifically for the Australian environment in order to take full advantage of the SMAP remote sensing mission when it is launched in 2012.

土壤水分是澳大利亚农业经济的一个非常重要的资源，而澳大利亚农业经济正受到气候变化的压力。从空间每日监测围场规模的土壤湿度是一个强有力的工具，为土地管理提供信息，使准确的作物产量和牧草生长预测。在大陆范围内，土壤湿度信息将导致更好的天气，气候和极端洪水预测技能和评估未来气候变化对澳大利亚的影响的能力。因此，必须专门为澳大利亚环境开发主动-被动土壤水分反演算法，以便在2012年启动SMAP遥感使命时充分利用该使命。
