Integrating spatial simulation models and Earth observation techniques for surveying complex patterns of top soil moisture

Topsoil moisture and its spatial and temporal distribution over the landscape is an important input variable in various landscape process simulation models e.g. evapotranspiration, crop growth, soil erosion, surface runoff models. In theory, soil moisture patterns can be mapped by Earth observation techniques. In practice, however, this is hampered by crop and vegetation cover, topography and a complex relation between the reflected electromagnetic signal and soil moisture.

[ Introduction ]

In this study we propose to develop a GIS based model to predict the spatial and temporal distribution of top soil moisture patterns on the basis of rainfall patterns, topography, soil and landcover. The relation of this simulated soil moisture pattern with radar backscatter, thermal remote sensing and optical reflectance signals is investigated and determined. It is anticipated that the combined use of GIS based simulation models and earth observation techniques will yield improved survey methods for soil moisture patterns.

[ Integration ]

A number of conventional and state-of- the-art techniques will be combined:

• DEM extraction from ASTER imagery and aerial photographs, using DGPS measurements

• Emissivity measurements using the

‘box-method’ (Rubio et al., 1997, 2003)

• Surface Energy Balance modelling (SEBS; Su, 2002) with ASTER data

• In-situ TDR measurements for model validation

• Land Cover Classification from ASTER imagery

• Meteorological measurements
