NGEE–Tropics

Next-Generation Ecosystem Experiments

NASA SMAP soil moisture shows little season variation (a), despite significant seasonal variation in rainfall (b). Based-period 2015-2019. Rainfall data is from Global Precipitation Measurements (GPM). (c) Sensitivity test of the  t-w model used by SMAP algorithm to determine soil moisture at the NGEE-Tropics core site in Manaus.  Image courtesy of authors.
