Soil moisture derivation using triangle method in the lighvan watershed, north western Iran

Soil moisture determination plays a major role in water and crop management. In this research, the accuracy of the Triangle Method (TM) was evaluated to predict surface soil moisture content using Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectro-radiometer (MODIS) satellite images with 1km resolution. The invest...
