Improving the fusion of global soil moisture datasets from SMAP, SMOS, ASCAT, and MERRA2 by considering the non-zero error covariance

Surface soil moisture (SSM) estimates from different sources have distinct error characteristics. Multi-source data combination is an efficient way to obtain improved SSM data with reduced uncertainties. Previous data merging studies based on the linear weight averaging scheme rarely considered the...
