Abstract

Soil moisture is one of the critical factors in hydrological cycles and agricultural production. Prediction of Soil Moisture content is essential for the rational use and management of water resources. This paper uses measured soil moisture satellite images captured by the SMAP satellite to train the models. Current day time series forecasting approaches are only applicable to tabular data. In this paper, we suggest a pipeline/framework that uses Dimensionality Reduction and Time Series Forecasting techniques for forecasting satellite image time series. Using this pipeline/framework, we can forecast undiscovered soil moisture from past satellite observations. To examine our final pipeline performance, we will conduct experiments for different models to forecast future satellite images from historical satellite images. Finally we can use these predictions to provide strategies for a drought resistant irrigation system.
