SM retrieval approaches:1) Fine scale radar;2) Coarse scale radiometer;3) Median scale combined;
Why combined method?
1) Account for missing data.2) Use noisy high-res radar to
downscale coarse radiometer.3) Use information in overlapped
observations.
Assimilation approach: Assimilate radar backscatter and
radiometer brightness observations into a combined soil moisture retrieval.

Data Assimilation merges observations & model predictions to provide a superior state estimate:
Xa = Xb + K (O - Ô) Ô = h(Xb,0)
Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) tracks the conditional mean of a statistically optimal estimate of a state vector X through a series of forecast and update steps

1. Do DA retrievals only at 3km scale and aggregate them up to 9km scale, use a former instrument error rate setup to compare the DA retrieval accuracy with mathematical inversion method:tb1: Use Tbv & Tbh onlyts1: Combine Tbv & Tbh with vv, hh & vh
Tbv & Tbh : 36km obs having 1.0K noise
vv, hh & vh: 3km obs having 0.5dB noise
2. Retrieve SM by using 36km Tb inversed SM rather than a LSM as Xb and assimilating sigmas into Xb with reproduced OSSE data: Kp = 0.15 and 3x3 moving average smoothing;
3. Retrieve SM by using 36km Tb inversed SM rather than a LSM as Xb and assimilating sigmas into Xb with various sigma noise levels: Kp = 0.05, 0.10, or 0.15

Using Kalman Filter data assimilation algorithm may combine HYDROS passive and active observations to produce useful median resolution soil moisture data;
KF DA can also be used for SM retrieval with a more physically detailed land surface model for the background estimate Xb;
With EKF DA retrieving SM, VWC and Ts simultaneously may be possible by using all radar and radiometer observations.
