AMSR2 Unified L2B Surface Soil Moisture Reprocessing Now Complete

Reprocessing of the AMSR-E/AMSR2 Unified L2B Half-Orbit 25 km EASE-Grid Surface Soil Moisture, Version 1 data set, available at the NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC), is complete for all data from 2 July 2012 to present. The Beta 02 (B02) algorithm update corrects an error that caused only half of each swath to be processed. This data set includes surface soil moisture estimates derived from L1R brightness temperatures from AMSR2.
