Although the variability of soil moisture is always considered a function of meteorological and hydrological parameters such as precipitation and temperature, its influences associated with changes in the heat content of soil and evaporation feedback are linked not only to variations in local precipitation and temperature but also to remote climate anomalies via changes in temperature and pressure gradients, and thus atmospheric circulation ( Pal and Eltahir 2002 ; Weaver

While the quality and availability of remotely sensed vegetation- and topography-related land surface parameters have improved significantly over the last few decades, comparable advances in global soil-related parameters at matching scales have not occurred. In fact, given that soil moisture is known to be a critical climate variable, it could be argued that our current approach of using texture

employed the global analyses prepared by the European Centre for Medium-Range Forecasts (ECMWF) to study the onset and interannual variability of the Asian summer monsoon in relation to land–sea thermal contrast ( Li and Yanai 1996 ), the Australian summer monsoon ( Hung and Yanai 2004 ), and its relationship with the Asian summer monsoons ( Hung et al. 2004 ). In China, in the last decade, a series of research programs have been organized to support the activities related to the World Climate Research
