Title

Relative surface soil moisture for the Thames Valley, United Kingdom, October 2015 to September 2021

Abstract

This dataset includes relative surface soil moisture across the Thames Valley, between October 2015 and September 2021, using backscatter radar data collected using the ESA Sentinel-1 Constellation. Radar backscatter was normalised to 40 incidence angle, using a novel monthly normalisation parameterisation.

Lineage

Sentinel-1 IWGRDH data (VV Pol) went through the following processing steps: • Extraction • Orbital Correction • Thermal and Border Noise Removal • Calibration • Speckle Filtering (Refined Lee) • Terrain Correction • Conversion to dB • Subsetting • Look Incidence Angle Normalisation • Dynamic Masking (removing anomolus data) • Spatial Averaging to 100m resolution • rSSM Calculation Full explanation of lineage and methodology can be found here: 10.1109/TGRS.2022.3175256
