Abstract
and water management in the field. Therefore, its measurement has special importance. The surface soil has a great diversity in soil moisture and different methods were used to measure this property. Due to the problems of contact methods of soil moisture measurement, remote sensing has gained attention because of the possibility of analyzing and monitoring soil moisture on a large and global scale. In this research, satellite data and moisture measured in selected fields located in Hormoaz Abad Plain have been analyzed and compared. Sentinel-2 satellite data have been analyzed using the Google Earth Engine system. The results of this research showed that the use of triple indices in the OPTRAM model to estimate moisture is not very accurate, but the use of the EVI plant index has provided better results than the other two indices.
