In Maghreb countries such as Morocco, there is a strong need for forecasting systems to reduce the impacts of floods. The development of such a system in the case of ungauged catchments is complicated, but remote-sensing products could overcome the lack of in situ measurements. The soil moisture content can strongly modulate the magnitude of flood events and consequently is a crucial parameter to take into account for flood modeling. In this study, different soil moisture products (European Space Agency Climate Change Initiative, ESA-CCI; Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity, SMOS; Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity by the Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique and Centre d'Etudes Spatiales de la Biosphère, SMOS-IC; Advanced Scatterometer, ASCAT; and ERA5 reanalysis) are compared to in situ measurements and one continuous soil-moisture-accounting (SMA) model for basins located in the High Atlas Mountains, upstream of the city of Marrakech. The results show that the SMOS-IC satellite product and the ERA5 reanalysis are best correlated with observed soil moisture and with the SMA model outputs. The different soil moisture datasets were also compared to estimate the initial soil moisture condition for an event-based hydrological model based on the Soil Conservation Service curve number (SCS-CN). The ASCAT, SMOS-IC, and ERA5 products performed equally well in validation to simulate floods, outperforming daily in situ soil moisture measurements that may not be representative of the whole catchment soil moisture conditions. The results also indicated that the daily time step may not fully represent the saturation state before a flood event due to the rapid decay of soil moisture after rainfall in these semiarid environments. Indeed, at the hourly time step, ERA5 and in situ measurements were found to better represent the initial soil moisture conditions of the SCS-CN model by comparison with the daily time step. The results of this work could be used to implement efficient flood modeling and forecasting systems in semiarid regions where soil moisture measurements are lacking.

Using Ranked Probability Skill Score (RPSS) as Nonlocal Root-Mean-Square Errors (RMSEs) for Mitigating Wet Bias of Soil Moisture Ocean Salinity (SMOS) Soil Moisture / Ju Hyoung Lee in Photogrammetric Engineering & Remote Sensing, PERS, vol 86 n° 2 (February 2020)

This stochastic approach independently self-corrects Soil Moisture Ocean Salinity (SMOS) wet biases, unlike the cumulative density function (CDF) matching that rescales satellite retrievals with respect to several years of reference data. Ranked probability skill score (RPSS) is used as nonlocal root-mean-square errors (RMSEs) to assess stochastic retrievals. Stochastic method successfully decreases RMSEs from 0.146 m3/m3 to 0.056 m3/m3 in the Republic of Benin and from 0.080 m3/m3 to 0.038 m3/m3 in Niger, while the CDF matching method exacerbates the original SMOS biases up to 0.141 m3/m3 in Niger, and 0.120 m3/m3 in Benin. Unlike the CDF matching or European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) Re-Analysis (ERA))–interim soil moisture, only a stochastic retrieval responds to Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission rainfall. Based on the effects of bias correction, RPSS is suggested as a nonlocal verification without needing local measurements.

The SMOS payload is a 2-D interferometer operating at L-band that consists of 69 elementary antennas located along a Y-shaped structure. Important spatial biases persist in the retrieved brightness temperature (BT) images mainly due to the phenomenon of aliasing inside the field of view of SMOS but also due to the Gibbs oscillations near land/ocean transitions. To minimize these biases, a differential image reconstruction algorithm is used in the operational processor that reduces the contrast of the image to be retrieved. To do that, the contribution of a constant artificial temperature map is removed from the measurements prior to reconstruction and then added back after the reconstruction. In this paper, we show that strong residual biases are still present in the retrieved images. To reduce them, we propose to improve the bias correction algorithm by using a more realistic artificial temperature scene based on separating the land and ocean regions and assigning a constant temperature over land and a Fresnel BT model over the ocean. The artificial scene is also improved by means of representing each pixel by its water fraction percentage to smooth the land/ocean transitions. The improved algorithm is validated over the ocean by comparing the retrieved temperatures to a forward geophysical model but also over land by comparing the retrieved soil moisture to in situ measurements.

These observations can be used to improve land surface model (LSM) soil moisture states through data assimilation (DA). In this paper, SMOS soil moisture retrievals are assimilated into the Noah LSM via an Ensemble Kalman Filter within the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Land Information System. Bias correction is implemented using cumulative distribution function (cdf) matching, with points aggregated by either land cover or soil type to reduce the sampling error in generating the cdfs. An experiment was run for the warm season of 2011 to test SMOS DA and to compare assimilation methods. Verification of soil moisture analyses in the 0-10-cm upper layer and the 0-1-m root zone was conducted using in situ measurements from several observing networks in central and southeastern United States. This experiment showed that SMOS DA significantly increased the anomaly correlation of Noah soil moisture with station measurements from 0.45 to 0.57 in the 0-10-cm layer. Time series at specific stations demonstrates the ability of SMOS DA to increase the dynamic range of soil moisture in a manner consistent with station measurements. Among the bias correction methods, the correction based on soil type performed best at bias reduction but also reduced correlations. The vegetation-based correction did not produce any significant differences compared with using a simple uniform correction curve.

A comparative analysis of low-level radio frequency interference in SMOS and Aquarius microwave radiometer measurements / Mustafa Aksoy in IEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing, vol 51 n° 10 (October 2013)  

Public [article]  inIEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing > vol 51 n° 10 (October 2013) . - pp 4983 - 4992 Titre : A comparative analysis of low-level radio frequency interference in SMOS and Aquarius microwave radiometer measurements Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Mustafa Aksoy, Auteur ; Joel T.

RFI detection and mitigation remain a challenging problem for both missions, especially for low or moderate (i.e., on the order of 10 K or less) amplitude contributions. An algorithm for low-level source detection and mitigation is already included in Aquarius data sets, and both Aquarius and SMOS have distinct attributes that can potentially enable further improvements in detection and mitigation of these sources to some degree. The combination of SMOS and Aquarius data sets may enable further future improvements as well. Initial efforts toward this goal are reported in this paper. Similarities and differences in RFI effects on SMOS and Aquarius are examined, with a particular focus on instrument properties that cause differences in received RFI power in SMOS and Aquarius observations of a specific source. A study is also performed of SMOS observations for regions reported by Aquarius to contain “low-level” RFI. It is shown that the detection of these sources in the SMOS data set is challenging and that the dependence of the SMOS third and fourth Stokes parameters on incidence angle makes the polarimetric features of SMOS difficult to utilize for low-level source detection. However, an angular fitting procedure suggested previously in the literature can, in some cases, detect such sources in horizontal and vertical polarizations.
