FRM4SM: Fiducial Reference Measurements for Soil Moisture
Fiducial Reference Measurements for Soil Moisture (FRM4SM) is a European Space Agency (ESA) managed project focused, on one hand, on defining procedures and protocols to qualify in situ soil moisture measurements as “FRMs” and, on the other hand, on addressing specific concerns intrinsic to the satellite soil moisture validation strategy (e.g., in situ measurement’s spatial representativeness, and the identification of committed areas for satellite soil moisture validation).
