Satellite datasets offer ample spatial coverage of near-surface soil moisture content at up to a daily time-step, but satellite-derived data products are currently too coarse in spatial resolution to use directly for many environmental applications, such as those for small catchments. This study investigated the use of passive microwave satellite soil moisture data products in a simple hydrologic model to provide root zone soil moisture estimates across a small catchment over a two year time period and the Eastern U.S. (EUS) at a 1 km resolution over a decadal time-scale. The physically based soil moisture analytical relationship (SMAR) was calibrated and tested with the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer (AMSRE), Soil Moisture Ocean Salinity (SMOS), and Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) data products. The SMAR spatial model relies on maps of soil physical properties and was first tested at the Shale Hills experimental catchment in central Pennsylvania. The model met a root mean square error (RMSE) benchmark of 0.06 cm3 cm\u22123 at 66% of the locations throughout the catchment. Then, the SMAR spatial model was calibrated at up to 68 sites (SCAN and AMERIFLUX network sites) that monitor soil moisture across the EUS region, and maps of SMAR parameters were generated for each satellite data product. The average RMSE for RZSM estimates from each satellite data product is &lt;0.06 cm3 cm\u22123. Lastly, the 1 km EUS regional RZSM maps were tested with data from the Shale Hills, which was set aside for validating the regional SMAR, and the RMSE between the RZSM predictions and the catchment average is 0.042 cm3 cm\u22123. This study offers a promising approach for generating long time-series of regional RZSM maps with the same spatial resolution of soil property maps.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs11172013","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,8,27]],"date-time":"2019-08-27T11:13:30Z","timestamp":1566904410000},"page":"2013","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":31,"title":["Estimating Root Zone Soil Moisture Across the Eastern United States with Passive Microwave Satellite Data and a Simple Hydrologic Model"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2627-6203","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Douglas","family":"Baldwin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geography, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA 16802, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0225-144X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Salvatore","family":"Manfreda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of European and Mediterranean Cultures: Architecture, Environment, and Cultural Heritage (DiCEM), University of Basilicata, Matera 75100, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Henry","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ecosystem Science and Management, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA 16802, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Erica A.H.","family":"Smithwick","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geography, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA 16802, USA"},{"name":"Earth and Environmental Systems Institute, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA 16802, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,8,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"93","DOI":"10.1016\/0168-1923(93)90024-C","article-title":"Forest ecosystem processes at the watershed scale: Incorporating hillslope hydrology","volume":"63","author":"Band","year":"1993","journal-title":"Agric.
