<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Microwave remote sensing is the most promising tool for monitoring global-scale near-surface soil moisture distributions. With the Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) and Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) missions in orbit, considerable efforts are made to evaluate their soil moisture products via ground observations, forward microwave transfer simulation, and retrievals. Due to the large footprint of the satellite radiometers of about 40 km in diameter and
