Overview
This data product contains global daily 1 km resolution surface soil moisture derived from the SMAP L-band radiometer. Specifically, MODIS land surface temperature data is used with the SMAP Enhanced L2radiometer Half-Orbit 9 km EASE-Grid Soil Moisture product in a downscaling algorithm to estimate soil moisture. The data set is validated by in situ soil moisture measurements from dense soil moisture networks representing different global land cover types. The temporal coverage is 1 April 2015 to 29 September 2022.
