CONTEXT
Soil moisture is a critical variable in many physical processes related to
agriculture, hydrology, meteorology or climatology
The Mediterranean region is one of the most sensitive areas to climate
change
Agriculture uses up to 80% of water available in Mediterranean
countries
IPCC predictions, the change in precipitation patterns descend the
productivity of rainfed agriculture down to the 50% of its present value
towards 2020
Irrigation performance assessments at the field scale show a mismatch
between irrigation requirements and the amount of irrigation water that
is actually applied. Optimize on-farm irrigation management.

REC OBJECTIVE
Evaluate the state of art of soil moisture remote sensing products in
a Mediterranean area
• ASCAT L2 Soil Moisture Index TU-Wien (5.2 GHz)
• AMSR-E LPRM (6.9 Ghz)
• SMOS L2 OP (1.4 GHz)
Focus on regional and local applications in the context of
agriculture and water management
REC aims at develop an operational remote sensing algorithm
dedicated to root zone soil moisture monitoring at the parcel scale.
These estimates will be integrated in an irrigation management
system that will be used to trigger irrigation.

Land-surface simulations
Model: SURFEX
• Developed at Météo-France.
• SURFEX is modular, we used the ISBA
3L scheme.
Spatial resolution: 5 km.
Time resolution: we decided to work with
daily series
Variable of interest:
• we focused on the surface layer soil
wetness.
• Satellite soil moisture products are
sensitive to the first few centimeters of
soil.
Simulation period:
1/9/2009 – 31/12/2011 (1 year spin-up)
Period of comparison with satellite data:
• 1 year: 2011
• Therefore, initial conditions are not an
issue.

Land-surface simulations
The SAFRAN meteorological analysis
system was used to force the LSM.
Optimal interpolation.
First guess: HIRLAM HNR 5km.
Operational NWP model at AEMET.
Observed data: All available AEMET
meteorological stations.
SAFRAN analyses temperature, relative
humidity, precipitation, wind and cloudiness
and simulates downward short and long
wave radiation.
Temporal resolution: 6h (interpolated to
hourly series).
Spatial resolution: 5 km.

Methodology
SM products in different units (m3m3, %) and each refer to different depths ->
data normalised
A moving average was applied to ZV or ZV35 to enhance soil moisture memory
and detect seasonal effects, two windows of 10 and 30 days were used
Correlations calculated for each grid point and agregated per cover class
Temporal series analysed over selected points representative of Mediterranean
landscapes: rainfed crops, irrigated crops, grass-shrubs and forest

Summary and Conclusions
• Soil Moisture products evaluated across different Mediterranean
landscapes
• ASCAT correlates best with LSM, AMSR-E when seasonal behavior
enhanced
• Over crops, ASCAT soil moisture increases from July to Novembre
probably due to increase of roughness (ploughing or increase of
penetration depth)
• AMSR-E shows very high values of correlation but seems to be
correlated with vegetation cycle
• SMOS is the only to see irrigation
• Enhanced resolution (DisPATCh) is needed in Mediterranean
landscapes
