L-BAND MICROWAVE SATELLITE DATA AND MODEL SIMULATIONS OVER THE DRY CHACO TO ESTIMATE SOIL MOISTURE, SOIL TEMPERATURE, VEGETATION, AND SOIL SALINITY

L-Band Microwave Satellite Data and Model Simulations Over the Dry Chaco to Estimate Soil Moisture, Soil Temperature, Vegetation, and Soil Salinity

The Dry Chaco in South America is a semi-arid ecoregion prone to dryland salinization.In this region, we investigated coarse-scale surface soil moisture (SM), soil temperature, soil salinity, and vegetation, using L-band microwave brightness temperature (TB) observations and retrievals from the soil moisture ocean salinity (SMOS) and soil moisture

Interplay of Sensor Quantity, Placement and System Dimension in POD-Based Sparse Reconstruction of Fluid Flows

Sparse linear estimation of fluid flows using data-driven proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) basis is systematically explored in this work.Fluid flows are manifestations of nonlinear Bedspread multiscale partial differential equations (PDE) dynamical systems with inherent scale separation that impact the system dimensionality.Given that sparse r
