Resumen
Soil moisture (SM) is an important land surface variable for understanding the water cycle, ecosystem productivity, and linkages between water-carbon cycles. For agricultural applications, SM information is needed at higher resolutions (about 1km). In this study, coarse-scale remotely sensed SM at 36 km from NASA-SMAP was disaggregated to 1 km using high resolution auxiliary information such as land cover, precipitation, land surface temperature, NDVI for a growing season of corn in 2018 in Central Mexico (CM). The main objective is to evaluate a machine-learning based downscaling algorithm over an agricultural area with very limited in-situ observations of SM obtained during THExMEX-18. We found that overall, the downscaled moisture captured the dynamics during the growing season observed by the in-situ measurements.
