Detecting Irrigation From Spectral Differences Between Satellite and Modeled Soil Moisture Across the Contiguous United States
Irrigation alters the terrestrial water cycle, yet its spatial distribution and temporal variability remain poorly constrained because existing data sets often rely on indirect proxies or inventories rather than observations tied to land‐surface water‐balance dynamics. Here, we introduce a wavelet‐based method to detec...
