Abstract

A confluence of scientific and technological developments in soil moisture sensing, satellite imagery and spatial statistics now provide the opportunity to predict soil moisture as it varies in space and time. This work presents initial results in the development of a methodology to predict (in near real-time) soil moisture at a spatial resolution of 100m on a daily time step using a combination of insitu measurements of soil moisture, spatial statistics and remote sensing products which parameterise components of the soil water balance equation; soil moisture = precipitation + irrigation - evapotranspiration - deep drainage - runoff.
