Thesis includes a description of the soil moisture monitoring networks set up in these regions and a detailed analysis of the collected datasets; the soil moisture products obtained from AMSR‐E and the relative soil wetness index products retrieved from ASCAT are validated for the Maqu region; the SMOS soil moisture products are validated for both the Maqu and the Twente regions; The seasonal behaviour, the anomalies behaviour and the autocorrelation of AMSR‐E soil moisture and ERS relative soil wetness index are analysed.
