Surface soil moisture: getting the best estimates from models and satellites

October 17, 2016 Chiara Holgate (ANU) and Simon Walker (OzEWEX) Leave a comment

New research shows that satellite and model-based methods to estimate near-surface soil moisture both have their relative strengths and weaknesses – but not always in the ways science has assumed. Soil moisture plays a key role in the hydrological cycle and in governing […]

CO2 affects rainforest growth but not water balance

September 4, 2016 Yuting Yang and Tim McVicar (CSIRO), and Simon Walker (OzEWEX) Leave a comment

Enhanced atmospheric CO2 concentrations (eCO2) have exerted a profound impact on the Earth’s carbon, water and energy cycles. New research led by Dr Yuting Yang and colleagues of CSIRO Land and Water shows that long-term eCO2 in tropical […]

Satellite soil moisture data help understand ecohydrology in the Outback

August 11, 2016 Tiexi Chen (Nanjing University) and Tim McVicar (CSIRO) Leave a comment

When assessing vegetation water availability and growth in the Channel Country, remotely sensed soil moisture is more useful than precipitation data, a new study published in ‘Remote Sensing’ found. For much of Australia water availability is a primary constraint […]
