The study centered on the comprehensive assessment of satellite-based microwave soil moisture (SM) products across Europe, taking into account crucial variables including geographical diversity, climate dynamics, and land cover variations. We systematically compared SM products from esteemed entities such as NASA, ESA, ASCAT, SENTINEL-1, and ESA’s Climate Change Initiative against ground-truth data from the International Soil Moisture Network (ISMN).
