résumé

SMAP (Soil Moisture Active and Passive) with a grid resolution of 9 km, ASCAT (Advanced Scatterometer) with a grid resolution of 0.1D (Degree), FY-3B and ESA-CCI (European Space Agency-Climate Change Initiative) with a grid resolution of 25 km, these satellite soil moisture (SM) products were widely used in drought monitoring, evapotranspiration estimation etc. applications. It is very important to evaluate these satellite SM products before using them. In this study, the approximate synchronous in-situ SM measurements (point-scale) and airborne observation-based soil moisture data (area-scale airborne SM with a grid resolution of 1 km) from the Comprehensive Remote Sensing Experiment of Water Cycle and Energy Balance in the Shandian river basin of Inner Mongolia in September, 2018 were used to evaluate the SMAP, ASCAT, FY-3B, ESA-CCI satellite SM products using RMSE (Mean Square Root Error), R (Correlation Coefficient), MAE (Mean Absolute Error), Bias and ubRMSE (unbiased Mean Square Root Error) etc. evaluation indexes. This study achieved the evaluation process from the point-scale in-situ SM measurements to the area-scale (1 km×1 km) airborne SM data to the area-scale (9 km×9 km, 0.1 D×0.1 D, 25 km×25 km) satellite SM products using airborne SM as the bridge between in-situ SM measurements and satellite SM products. The results dedicated that in bare soil area the airborne SM was more consistent with the in-situ SM measurements, the RMSE, MAE, Bias and ubRMSE and R values were 0.033 cm3/cm3, 0.030 cm3/cm3, -0.004 cm3/cm3, 0.033 cm3/cm3 and 0.474 respectively. Comparing with ASCAT, FY-3B and ESA-CCI satellite SM products, the SMAP satellite SM product were more consistent with in-situ SM measurements, RMSE, MAE, Bias, ubRMSE and R values were 0.037 cm3/cm3, 0.032 cm3/cm3, -0.008 cm3/cm3, 0.036 cm3/cm3 and 0.507 respectively. In addition, the R values between the satellite SM products (SMAP, ASCAT, FY-3B and ESA-CCI) and airborne SM data were higher, 0.735, 0.558, 0.558 and 0.575 respectively. Overall, the SMAP satellite SM product was more consistent with in-situ SM measurements and airborne SM in Shandian river basin area, then FY-3B and ESA-CCI SM products.
