Short summary
Accurate soil moisture data is essential for predicting weather. This study examined how observations from three satellites can be combined to improve land-surface simulations. While each satellite helps, their value changes with vegetation type. Merging these data sources gives a more reliable estimate of soil wetness, especially in central and western China. This approach strengthens soil-water monitoring and supports more dependable climate forecasting.
