Project Number: 5342-12660-003-09
Project Type: Reimbursable

Start Date: Mar 16, 2004
End Date: Sep 30, 2005

Objective:
To establish a collaborative relation between the Army Topographic Engineering Cneter (TEC) and ARS is the area of soil moisture modeling. The objective of this effort will focus on developing a prototype operational soil moisture modeling system based on remote sensing technology, process-based models and geographic information (GIS) systems.

Approach:
The proposed approach is an integrated remote sensing and modeling system that provides soil moisture data on a daily timestep and at a variety of depths at local and regional scales. A rigorous validation effort is planned at four watersheds in different U.S. Climatic regimes to ensure product accuracy in international applications. Technology transfer is an integral component of this work. Documents Reimbursable with Dept. of Army. Log 27193.
