6 I. Background and Motivation Motivation No work has been carried out for an intercomparison of the ongoing SMAP, SMOS, FY3B, AMSR2, and ESA CCI SM products Most work focuses on assessment of SM products at a relatively coarse spatial resolution of approximately.25 (i.e., at one spatial scale) Most work ignores the investigation of the possible error sources of the products Objective Examining the possible errors and limitations of eight new SM products Evaluating the quality of SM products at a coarse resolution of.25 and at a medium resolution of.1 (i.e., the new SMAP enhanced passive and JAXA) Investigating the potential of other new SM products (i.e., SMAP and FY3B) to be integrated into the ESA CCI product

22 IV. Conclusions and outlook The best performance: SMAP_P (LWW network, ubrmse =.27 m 3 m -3 ), FY3B (REMEDHUS network, ubrmse =.25 m 3 m -3 ) SMOS slightly underestimates SM, but it correlates well with in-situ data (average R =.77). The JAXA performs much better at.25 than at.1, but both of them underestimate SM at most time (bias >.5 m 3 m -3 ). The SMAP_E_P well captures the temporal variation of measurements (R>.8), and is generally superior to the JAXA product. The LPRM shows much larger amplitude and temporal variation than the ground SM (bias >.9 m 3 m -3 ). The underestimation of ST contributes to the general dry bias found in the SMAP and SMOS SM. The ESA CCI shows satisfactory performance (ubrmse<.45 m 3 m -3 ), and it could integrate SMAP and FY3B to form a more reliable and useful product in the future.
