Reviewers comments
Both reviewers agree that your topic can be a useful important addition to the literature--particularly as it is one of first addressing the apparent correlation of spatial soil moisture patterns to landscape controls. However, both reviewers also agree that the connection needs to be made more strongly and more quantitatively, and I would agree.

More needs to be done to establish that these surface patterns are attributable to soil characteristics and not precipitation patterns (which is not discussed).
You use a qualitative visual approach where a statistical approach would be more in place. If you truly calculate the spatial correlation between the two maps, the comparison study would become more valuable for the scientific community.

Comments
In your letter you describe the strong relationship between soil properties and low frequency brightness temperatures. Scientists where already aware of this relationship since the seventies (e.g. Hipp, 1974 IEEE; Schmugge 1975: JGR; Eagleman and Lin 1976 JGR). I believe that a small section of the early work in the introduction would be good addition.

Try to use polarization ratios (Tbh/Tbv) in figure 2 in stead of brightness temperatures. Now the brightness temperatures are mainly a function of soil moisture and temperature (vegetation contribution is apparently very small). With the use of polarization ratio you eliminate the effect of temperature. I also expect that the correlation will increase.
