Uncertainty measures and file-level metadata that provide quality information are provided within each product. For details, refer to the Data Fields and Metadata Fields documents.
Each HDF5 file contains file-level metadata. A separate metadata file with an .xml file extension is also delivered to NSIDC DAAC with the HDF5 file; it contains essentially the same information as the file-level metadata. In addition, a Quality Assessment (QA) file with a .qa file extension is provided for every HDF5 file. QA files contain spatial statistics across the SMAP Level-4 soil moisture products, such as the global minimum, mean, and maximum of each data field.
Level-4 surface and root zone soil moisture estimates are validated to a Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) requirement of 0.04 m3 m-3 after removal of the long-term mean bias. This accuracy requirement is identical to Level-2 soil moisture product validation and excludes regions with snow and ice cover, frozen ground, mountainous topography, open water, urban areas, and vegetation with water content greater than 5 kg m-2. Research outputs (not validated) include the surface meteorological forcing fields, land surface fluxes, soil temperature and snow states, runoff, and error estimates that are derived from the ensemble.As a condition of using these data, you must cite the use of this data set using the recommended citation.

<ul>
<li>SMAP L4 9 km EASE-Grid Surface and Root Zone Soil Moisture Geophysical Data (SPL4SMGP)</li>

For each product, SMAP L-band brightness temperature data from descending and ascending half-orbit satellite passes (approximately 6:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. local solar time, respectively) are assimilated into a land surface model that is gridded using an Earth-fixed, global, cylindrical 9 km Equal-Area Scalable Earth Grid, Version 2.0 (EASE-Grid 2.0) projection.VIEW RELATED INFORMATIONhttps://doi.org/10.5067/4IYTBSUKM57QDocumentationGET DATAhttps://nsidc.org/data/data-access-tool/SPL4SMLM/versions/3/Data Access ToolVIEW RELATED INFORMATIONhttp://nsidc.org/data/smap/index.htmlSMAP Data at NASA NSIDC DAACVIEW RELATED INFORMATIONhttp://nsidc.org/data/smap/validation/val-data.htmlSMAP Validation Data at NASA NSIDC DAACPROJECT HOME PAGEhttp://smap.jpl.nasa.gov/SMAP Web Site at the Jet Propulsion LaboratoryVIEW RELATED INFORMATIONhttps://www.asf.alaska.edu/smap/SMAP Data at NASA ASF DAACCEOS IDN DIFVERSION 9.92017-07-132024-01-25NSIDCVersion Summary<p>Changes to this version include:</p>
<ol>
<li>SMAP observations are now assimilated in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and East Asia due to expanded coverage of the brightness temperature scaling parameters. The latter are based on two years of SMAP Version 3 brightness temperature observations where the SMOS climatology is unavailable due to RFI.</li>
<li>An improved version of the model-only Nature Run (NRv4.1) simulation is used to derive the brightness temperature scaling parameters, the model soil moisture initial conditions, and the soil moisture climatology. </li>
<li>Minor bug fixes.</li>
