Abstract
This study presents a new SMOS (Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity) soil moisture (SM) product based on a different scattering albedo and soil roughness parameterization: the SMOS-IC (SMOS INRA-CESBIO) data set. In this study, several parameterizations of the vegetation and soil roughness parameters (ω, H R and N RP , P = H, V) were tested and the retrieved SM was compared against in situ observations obtained from the International Soil Moisture Network (ISMN). Firstly, values of ω = 0.10, H R = 0.4 and N RP = −1 (P = H, V) were found globally. Secondly, a calibration of these parameters was obtained for the different land cover categories of the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP) scheme. Depending on the IGBP land cover class, values of ω and H R varied, respectively, in the ranges 0.08–0.12 and 0.1–0.5. The IGBP-based calibration is currently used in the SMOS-IC product algorithm. Using as reference the ISMN sites, a better performance of the SMOS-IC product over the operational SMOSL3 (SMOS level 3) SM product was found: R = 0.62, bias = −0.019 m3/m3, ubRMSE = 0.061 m3/m3 for SMOS-IC; against R = 0.54, bias = −0.037 m3/m3 and ubRMSE = 0.069 m3/m3 for SMOSL3.
