“…As a response to this need, Terrestrial Hydrology Experiments in Mexico (THEXMEXs) have been conducted over different biomes, including agricultural lands, to monitor the dynamics of soil and vegetation [33], [34], [35]. During 2018 and 2019 (THEXMEX-18 and -19), an agricultural region was characterized over two complete growing seasons of corn in the region of Huamantla, Central Mexico.…”

Accurate knowledge of soil moisture (SM) is crucial in hydrological, micrometeorological, and agricultural applications; however, the SM estimation is particularly challenging in agricultural regions due to high spatial variability and dynamic vegetation conditions. The need of information about SM conditions is even more evident for developing countries with limited monitoring infrastructure. Satellite SM products are a useful tool as proxy of SM conditions on the ground, but they need to be evaluated for specific regions. In this study, we assess the quality of the Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) SM retrievals at 36,
