Special Issue on Remote Sensing of Soil Moisture

Soil-moisture information plays an important role in disaster predictions, environmental monitoring, and hydrological applications. Soil moisture is an important variable in land surface hydrology as it controls the amount of water that infiltrates into the soil and replenishes the water table versus the amount that contributes to surface runoff and to channel flow.  Soil moisture has very important implications for agriculture, ecology, wildlife, and public health. The goal of this special issue is to provide a platform for scientists and academicians all over the world to promote, share, and discuss various new issues and developments in the area of soil moisture research.

In this special issue, we invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles that explore remote sensing of soil moisture. In this special issue, potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Soil moisture sensor
• Water content in soil
• Moisture analysis
• Water distribution
• Water activity
• Field capacity

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly note that the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title should be specified and the research field “Special Issue - Remote Sensing of Soil Moisture” should be selected during your submission.
