Insufficient precision in monitoring soil salinity, snow depth, and desiccation risks leads to agricultural and environmental mismanagement. Accurate quantification of these variables prevents land degradation and crop failure.

Discrepancies between soil moisture, vegetation dynamics, and energy balance lead to unreliable carbon-water cycle modeling. Resolving these inconsistencies improves the precision of regional and global environmental monitoring.

Coarse spatial and temporal resolution of satellite temperature products limits local environmental analysis. Improving granularity allows for precise urban heat and moisture monitoring.
