Abstract:AMSR-E soil moisture products have been gradually used in meteorology, agriculture and other fields. Studying soil moisture has important significance, especially in arid and semiarid regions. In order to investigate AMSRE soil moisture products in Xilinhot grassland applicability, this paper utilizes field experiments in Xilinhot grassland, which is a 3 km× 3 km area within the AMSRE retrieval region with the same ninepoint latitude and longitude ground soil moisture compared to validate product precision. Because the relationship between precipitation and surface soil moisture is most closely, the soil moisture inversed from AMSR-E and precipitation data for comparison can validate soil moisture product reliability indirectly. Compared with the ground data, it shows that the AMSRE retrieval value and the groundbased measured average soil volumetric water content are 13.3% and 11.8% respectively, and their RMSE is 3.7%.
