Abstract
Monitoring irrigation is crucial for sustainable water management in freshwater-limited regions. Even though soil moisture (SM)-based inversion algorithms have been widely used to estimate irrigation, scarcity of irrigation records has prevented a thorough understanding of their uncertainties, especially in humid regions. This study assesses the suitability of the SM2RAIN algorithm for estimating irrigation at field scale using high-temporal-resolution data from four corn growing experiments conducted in north-central Florida. Daily irrigation estimates were compared with observations, revealing root mean squared differences of 1.26 to 3.84 mm/day and Nash–Sutcliffe Efficiencies of 0.33 to 0.89. The estimates were more sensitive to uncertainties in static inputs of porosity, saturation moisture and soil thickness than they were to noise in time series inputs. Defining the saturation moisture as porosity made the algorithm insensitive to both parameters, while increasing soil thickness from 40 to 200 mm improved detection accuracies by 34–46%. In addition, the impact of SM on the estimations was investigated based on satellite overpass times. The analysis showed that morning passes produced more accurate estimates for the study site, while evening passes doubled the uncertainty. This study enhances the understanding of the SM2RAIN algorithm for irrigation estimation in subtropical humid conditions, guiding future high-resolution applications.

- Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
- We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
- We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
- The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
- Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
