Figure1: Differences in SCAN observations‐based ubRMSE during 1 April 2015-30 August 2021 time period: (a) SMOPScdr minus SMAP, (b) SMOPScdr minus SMOS, (c) SMOPScdr minus AMSR-2, (d) SMOPScdr minus ASCATA. Patterns for ASCATA and ASCATB are very similar. Sites in blue color highlight better performance.
