英文摘要 | Remotely sensed and modeled soil moisture products are widely used in hydro-meteorological, agricultural and other applications. However, both of them need to be validated by ground measurements before they can be used for different applications. Three remotely sensed soil moisture products and the simulated soil moisture using the Community Land Model version 4.0 (CLM4.0) were compared and verified with the in situ measurements from a mesoscale soil moisture monitoring network in the central Tibetan Plateau area. These four soil moisture data sets can overall reasonably capture the surface soil moisture dynamics but with considerable biases for some certain soil conditions, such as frozen. The Land Parameter Retrieval Model (LPRM) AMSR-E soil moisture systematically overestimates unfrozen soil moisture and fails to estimates frozen soil, with bias (BIAS) and root mean square error (RMSE) values of 0.11 m(3) m(-3) and 0.12 m(3) m(-3) in average, respectively. The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) AMSR-E soil moisture shows better performance than the other two remotely sensed soil moisture, with smaller BIAS and RMSE values (0.017 and 0.096 m(3) m(-3) in average, respectively). But it still has a large overestimation bias for unfrozen soil. The AMSR2 data show a similar performance to the JAXA AMSR-E product, but with slight larger BIAS and RMSE (0.024 and 0.112 m(3) m(-3) in average, respectively), and a very large short-term variability during unfrozen periods. The CLM4.0 model was overall able to model multiple-layers' soil moistures well (RMSE = 0.03 m(3) m(-3)) but slightly underestimated surface soil moisture (0-10 cm) and overestimated deeper soil moisture (20-40 cm) under unfrozen conditions. These comparisons suggest that the LPRM algorithm fails to retrieve soil moisture value in the Tibetan Plateau area (TP) and the JAXA algorithm needs to be improved for unfrozen soil. For the AMSR2 product, more calibration work and to align it to the AMSR-E sensor are needed. This study also show the potential of using the land surface models (LSMs) for verify the remotely sensed soil moisture products especially for the area with lack of observations available, such as in the Tibetan Plateau area.
