  4. PURPOSE AND SCOPE Mapping soil moisture at high resolution? • Mapping soil moisture at both high spatial and temporal resolution not possible due to lack of sensors with these combined capabilities Virtual Soil Moisture Sensor (VSMS)! • We hypothesize that MODIS can be transformed to virtual soil moisture sensors (VSMS) for mapping soil moisture at high spatial and temporal resolution by: • Fusion with SAR data (VSMS1) • Disaggregation model (VSMS2) Rapid Prototyping Capability (RPC) Project • We designed a RPC project to evaluate potential of Visible Infrared Imager Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) to replace MODIS to improve monitoring soil moisture by generating VSMS 4 of 25

  6. STUDY SITE • Part of Nash Draw in southeastern New Mexico. • Project site is a part of Chihuahuan Desert. Site extent: approximately 400 sq. km. • Semi-arid area • Karst topography Location of Nash Draw (Holt et al., 2005) 6 of 25

  7. POTENTIAL DECISION SUPPORT TOOLS • Universal Triangle Model (VI-LST Triangle Model) • for soil moisture estimation • Regression and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) based models • for soil moisture prediction at high resolution (VSMS generation) • Simulator for Hydrology and Energy Exchange at the Land Surface (SHEELS) • for soil moisture estimation • Radiative Transfer Model (RTM) and DisaggNet • for disaggregation of coarse resolution soil moisture imagery (VSMS generation) 7 of 25

  8. DATA USED • MODIS • 13 scenes, daily reflectance (MOD09GQK) at 250 m and daily land surface temperature product (MOD11) at 1 km resolution • VIIRS • Simulated bands I1 and I2 at 400 m resolution for MOD09 and bands M15 and M16 at 800 m resolution for MOD11 • Radarsat 1 SAR • 4 Fine Beam imagery at 8 m resolution and 37o incidence angle • AMSR-E • Level 3 soil moisture product (AE_Land3) at 25 km resolution for corresponding MODIS/VIIRS data • Field Data • 2 sets of 80 soil samples collected within a site covering 225 sq. km in Nash Draw to measure volumetric soil moisture • DEM • Digital elevation model (DEM) obtained at 30 m resolution 8 of 25

  18. EVALUATION OF VIIRS TO MODIS RPC Experiment # 1 (Soil Moisture Estimation) • Correlation co-efficient (R) between field observed soil moisture and MODIS/ VIIRS derived soil moisture • Uncertainty analysis using field observed soil moisture and MODIS/VIIRS derived soil moisture Where, U = uncertainty, A= measurement accuracy, and P = precision µ= the average of all the measured values Xi corresponds to a true value T 18 of 25

  19. EVALUATION OF VIIRS TO MODIS RPC Experiment # 2 (VSMS Generation) • Mean Absolute Percent Error (MAPE) between MODIS derived VSMS and VIIRS derived VSMS. • MAPE is a pixel by pixel error evaluation technique between predicted and observed values. • We will consider MODIS as the observed value and VIIRS as the predicted value. Where, VSMSV and NSMM refer to soil moisture derived from virtual soil moisture sensor for VIIRS and MODIS respectively; n is the total number of pixels in a polygon 19 of 25
