Structure1) Statistics theory

-> 2 methods : CDF matching and copulas

2) Results over 2009 & 2010 and comparison with in situ measurements

-> comparison between the two sets of simulations

3) Time series from 2002 to 2010

CDF matching - Principle• CDF matching between 2 variables X and Y

CDF matching – Starting assumption • CDF matching : u = v

• Need to model this order copulas• Copulas : u = f(v)

Copulas - Theory

•Function linking U and V through the joint probability function :

Examples of Walnut Gulch, Arizona, and Little Washita, Oklahoma, USA

Walnut Gulch :

• South West US• Semiarid climate (rainfall: 320mm)• Shrubland

Little Washita :

• Great Plains US• Sub humid climate (rainfall: 750mm)• Cropland

o Simulations lower than the original data

o CDF matching lower and greater than copulas simulations

Conclusion• Many soil moisture products with gaps and different dynamics

• Need to have homogeneous time series for climate purpose• 2 statistical methods have been presented to rescale VUA soil

moisture at “SMOS level”▫ Both methods improve the original performances▫ Copulas method gives better results (RMSE) but is much

more time-consuming than CDF matching

▫ The biggest difference can be seen for low/high SM

• The main goal is to provide a time series from 1978 until now (further work would be to apply these methods to older satellites)
