description The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of estimated soil moisture data obtained from the GLDAS, ESA and SMAP sensor databases with the observed data of the Silakhor Agricultural Meteorological Station to investigate the spatial and temporal variation of soil moisture in Lorestan province. The data used in this research include the soil moisture data of the Silakhor station, GLDAS database, ESA center and SMAP sensor products during a six-year period (2016-2021). Estimated soil moisture data were evaluated against observed data using R2, RMSE and MAD statistics. The results showed that the SMAP satellite is associated with underestimation and the GLDAS model and the ESA satellite are associated with overestimation of soil moisture. However, in general, the estimated soil moisture values of the three mentioned sources have good accuracy. The value of the correlation coefficient between observed soil moisture data with soil moisture data obtained from SMAP and ESA satellites and GLDAS model was obtained as 0.62, 0.59 and 0.72 respectively, and in the combined case (SMAP, ESA and GLDAS) the value of correlation coefficient was increased to 0.77, therefore, it is suggested to use combine data to use soil moisture estimation.
