Abstract

The minimal Number of Required Sites (NRS) for regional soil moisture estimating under the certain accuracy requirements, and the representativeness of sites are studied by using the soil moisture data derive from "Maqu soil moisture observation network in Yellow River source region of the Northwest Institute of Eco-Environment and Resources, Chinese Academy Sciences"from July 2011 to August 2012. In addition, the best upscaling method which suitable for network has been selected by evaluating four commonly used methods. The results show that: (1) Under the accuracies R≥0.99, RMSD≤0.02 m3·m-3, NRS at both 5 and 10 cm depth is 10. (2) Representativeness of the sites have been validated by time stability analyses, time sliding correlation analyses and optimal combination of sites. NST01 is the most representative site at 5 cm depth for the first two methods, and CST05 and NST02 are the most representative sites at 10 cm depth. The optimum combination sites at 5 cm depth are NST01, NST02, and NST07. NST05, NST08, and NST13 are the best group at 10 cm depth. (3) Linear fitting is the best up-scaling method."Single site"obtained by OCS has the greatest up-scaling effect, and time sliding correlation analyses takes the second place. (4) The linear fitting equations are used to estimate the variation of regional soil moisture during 3 July 2013 to 3 July 2014, when a large number of observed soil moisture data are lost.
