Short summary
This study applied the exponential filter to produce an estimate of root-zone soil moisture at 20 to 25 cm depths. Four types of microwave, surface satellite soil moisture were used. The study focused on the continental United States, and in situ data were used from the International Soil Moisture Network for comparison. This study spans almost two decades (1997 to 2014). Root mean square error was close to 0.04, which is the baseline value for accuracy designated for many satellite missions.
