Data Set Summary:
This Level-2B AMSR Unified product contains surface soil moisture at 25 km resolution, estimated from AMSR-E and AMSR2 brightness temperature observations using two different approaches: the Normalized Polarization Difference (NPD) algorithm and the Single Channel Algorithm (SCA). Data are provided in the NSIDC EASE-Grid Global projection.
Soil moisture estimates are derived from AMSR-E and AMSR2 data which have been spatially resampled by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) to intercalibrate, or “unify,” the two sensors.
