    The work is devoted to the assessment of the possibility of using satellite data to determine soil moisture. The direct satellite observations were compared with the direct observations at the stations. Pearson correlation coefficient and the relative errors were calculated. The comparison of the data from the direct measurements of the soil moisture and satellite measurements showed that for the 52% of the stations the correlation coefficients exceeded 0.5

    The present paper presents characteristics of correlation between soil moisture observations obtained from a satellite and direct observations during the warm period of 2011 and 2012 in the area of the Tunka Basin. The factors influencing the relationship are considered. It is shown that the updated satellite data on moisture of the upper soil layer and those of direct observations at a depth of 15 cm have a satisfactory relationship
