                      for Vadose Zone Hydrology—A Synthesis from the Vantage
                      Point” [Vadose Zone Journal 12(3)]. Satellites (e.g., Soil
                      Moisture Active Passive [SMAP] and Soil Moisture and Ocean
                      Salinity [SMOS]) using passive microwave techniques, in
                      particular at L-band frequency, have shown good promise for
                      global mapping of near-surface (0–5-cm) soil moisture at a
                      spatial resolution of 25 to 40 km and temporal resolution of
                      2 to 3 d. C- and X-band soil moisture records date back to
                      1978, making available an invaluable data set for long-term
                      climate research. Near-surface soil moisture is further
                      extended to the root zone (top 1 m) using process-based
                      models and data assimilation schemes. Validation of remotely
                      sensed soil moisture products has been ongoing using core
                      monitoring sites, sparse monitoring networks, intensive
                      field campaigns, as well as multi-satellite comparison
                      studies. To transfer empirical observations across space and
                      time scales and to develop improved retrieval algorithms at
                      various resolutions, several efforts are underway to
                      associate soil moisture variability dynamics with land
                      surface attributes in various energy- and water-rich
                      environments. We describe the most recent scientific and
                      technological advances in soil moisture remote sensing. We
                      anticipate that remotely sensed soil moisture will find many
                      applications in vadose zone hydrology in the coming
                      decades.},
