MoistureMonitor: A multi-mission soil moisture monitoring system for a water limited future

澳大利亚的长期土壤湿度记录对于了解气候变化反馈机制及其对水资源管理的影响至关重要。该项目将验证，缩小规模和协调土壤水分反演从三个卫星任务在这十年中，每个使用一个新的和不同的低分辨率天线技术和解释方法。湿度监测器是提供这一土壤湿度记录的框架，将使用Murrumbidgee流域的空中活动和水文监测基础设施进行验证。重要的成果将是验证一颗新的土壤湿度卫星和开发高分辨率土壤湿度产品，以改进澳大利亚的土地和水管理及政策。

A long-term soil moisture record for Australia is critical to understanding climate change feedback mechanisms and their impacts on water management. This project will validate, downscale and harmonise soil moisture retrievals from three satellite missions across this decade, each using a new and different low resolution antenna technology and interpretation approach. Moisture Monitor, the framework to deliver this soil moisture record, will be verified using airborne campaigns and hydrological monitoring infrastructure in the Murrumbidgee catchment. Important outcomes will be validation of a new soil moisture satellite and development of a high resolution soil moisture product for improved land and water management and policy for Australia.
