Validation Strategies for Satellite-Based Soil Moisture Products over Argentine Pampas

In this paper, an evaluation strategy for two-candidate satellite-derived SM products is presented. In particular, we analyze the performance of two candidate algorithms [soil moisture ocean salinity (SMOS)-based soil moisture (SM) and advanced scatterometer (ASCAT)-based SM] to monitor SM in Pampas...
