This correction reduces the dry bias seen when comparing SMAP data to in situ data from the core validation sites. Frozen ground flag updated to reflect improved freeze/thaw detection algorithm, ...

While it is difficult to directly retrieve soil properties through satellite remote sensing, this study explores the feasibility of mapping global soil type and thereby corresponding soil texture ...

But [Nukes] was looking at public data from NASA’s SMAP satellite and made an interesting discovery. Despite the satellite’s mission to measure soil moisture, it also provided data on strange ...

This Level-3 (L3) soil moisture product provides a composite of daily estimates of global land surface conditions retrieved by the Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) passive microwave radiometer.

Abstract: The SMAP L-band microwave radiometer has completed its 3-year primary mission of measuring soil moisture and freeze/thaw state globally for quantifying the water and carbon cyclces.
