Annual soil moisture

climate

Global intra-annual metrics on the variability of soil moisture content from 1978 to the present

Details

This product is based on daily soil moisture estimates, developed in the context of the Climate Change Initiative (CCI). We derived monthly averages weighted weighted by per-pixel uncertainties and used them to derive annual climatologies.
