Evaluation of multiple gridded root zone soil moisture products in Europe using in-situ measurements from ICOS
Soil moisture is an essential climate variable, with applications in i.e. climate modelling and drought- and flood forecasting. The soil moisture in the rootzone (RZSM), 0-100cm depth, is especially important, compared to soil moisture at the surface (SSM), 0-5cm in depth. Large data gaps still exist for RZSM, as it cannot be directly observed through remote sensing. As such, modelling, and theref
