Data products of mixed soil moisture of the Tibetan Plateau (2008-2016)- A Big Earth Data Platform for Three Poles

The data products of mixed soil moisture of the Tibetan Plateau utilize remote sensing observation, in situ measurement and model simulation techniques. In situ soil moisture (SM) observation combines the classification of the Tibetan Plateau climate zone and is used to generate in situ measurements of SM climatology at plateau scales. The resulting in situ SM climatology of the Tibetan Plateau scale is used to scale the SM data simulated by the model, which are then used to scale the SM satellite observations. The climatological-scale satellites and model-simulated SMs are then objectively mixed by applying triple configuration and least square matching. The final mixed SM can replicate SM dynamics in different climate zones, from subhumid areas to semiarid and arid regions of the Tibetan Plateau.
