<p>One of the limitations of presently available Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) surface soil moisture (SSM) products is their moderated temporal resolution (e.g., 3-4 days) that is non optimal for several applications, as most user requirements point to a temporal resolution of 1-2 days or less. A possible path to tackle this issue is to coordinate multi-mission SAR acquisitions with a view to the future Copernicus Sentinel-1 (C&D and Next Generation) and L-band Radar Observation System for Europe (ROSE-L).</p><p>In this respect, the recent agreement between the Japanese (JAXA) and European (ESA) Space Agencies on the use of SAR Satellites in Earth Science and Applications provides a framework to develop and validate multi-frequency and multi-platform SAR SSM products. In 2019 and 2020, to support insights on the interoperability between C- and L-band SAR observations for SSM retrieval, Sentinel-1 and ALOS-2 systematic acquisitions over the TERENO (Terrestrial Environmental Observatories) Selhausen (Germany) and Apulian Tavoliere (Italy) cal/val sites were gathered. Both sites are well documented and equipped with hydrologic networks.</p><p>The objective of this study is to investigate the integration of multi-frequency SAR measurements for a consistent and harmonized SSM retrieval throughout the error characterization of a combined C- and L-band SSM product. To this scope, time series of Sentinel-1 IW and ALOS-2 FBD data acquired over the two sites will be analysed. The short time change detection (STCD) algorithm, developed, implemented and recently assessed on Sentinel-1 data [e.g., Balenzano et al., 2020; Mattia et al., 2020], will be tailored to the ALOS-2 data. Then, the time series of SAR SSM maps from each SAR system will be derived separately and aggregated in an interleaved SSM product. Furthermore, it will be compared against in situ SSM data systematically acquired by the ground stations deployed at both sites. The study will assess the interleaved SSM product and evaluate the homogeneous quality of C- and L-band SAR SSM maps.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>References</p><p>Balenzano.

Abstract The traditional time series studies consider the time series as a whole while carrying on the trend detection; therefore not enough attention is paid to the stage characteristic. On the other hand, the piecewise linear fitting type methods for trend detection are lacking consideration of the possibility that the same node belongs to multiple trends. The above two methods are affected by the start position of the sequence. In this paper, the concept of overlapping trend is proposed, and the definition of milestone nodes is given on its base; these way not only the recognition of overlapping trend is realized, but also the negative influence of the starting point of sequence is effectively reduced. The experimental results show that the computational accuracy is not affected by the improved algorithm and the time cost is greatly reduced when dealing with the processing tasks on dynamic growing data sequence.

Gross primary production (GPP) represents the carbon (C) uptake of ecosystems through photosynthesis and it is the largest flux of the global carbon balance. Our overall objective in this research is to identify and model GPP dynamics and its relationship with meteorological variables and energy fluxes based on time series analysis of eddy covariance (EC) data in two different agroecosystems, a Mediterranean rice crop in Spain and a rainfed cropland in Germany. Crops exerted an important influence on the energy and water fluxes dynamics existing a clear feedback between GPP, meteorological variables and energy fluxes in both type of crops.
