Soil moisture estimation by assimilating L-band microwave brightness temperature with geostatistics and observation localization.

The observation could be used to reduce the model uncertainties with data assimilation. If the observation cannot cover the whole model area due to spatial availability or instrument ability, how to do data assimilation at locations not covered by observation? Two commonly used strategies were first...
