Global surface soil moisture content based on remote sensing data

Created : Nov 16, 2012 Published : Nov 16, 2012 Last modified : Jan 04, 2013 03:32 PM

SMOS provides a global image of surface soil moisture every three days; this map covers the period 8–15 June 2010. Yellow colours indicate drier soil surfaces; blue colours denote wetter conditions. SMOS can measure soil moisture levels to an accuracy of 4 % at a spatial resolution of 50 km — about the same as detecting a teaspoonful of water mixed into a handful of dry soil.
