Short summary
Accurate soil moisture is crucial for weather prediction, but traditional methods often miss correct spatial patterns. We addressed this by treating moisture data as cohesive images rather than isolated points. Using image processing, we optimized both the location and intensity of moisture anomalies. This approach doubled the accuracy of spatial patterns and reduced errors in China and the United States.
