AMSR-E/2 Soil Moisture Data Set for 25km in Southwest China (2002-2020)


This data set contains satellite-retrieved geophysical parameter files generated from the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer - Earth Observing System (AMSR-E) instrument on the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Aqua satellite and the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 (AMSR2) sensor on the JAXA GCOM-W1 satellite. The geophysical parameters include daily air surface temperature, fractional open water cover estimates, vegetation optical depth, surface volumetric soil moisture, and atmosphere total column precipitable water vapor. The global retrievals were derived over land for non-precipitating, non-snow, and non-ice covered conditions.The spatial resolution of soil moisture is 25KM, covering the whole world, and the temporal resolution is 1 day.


File naming and required software

The file format is GEOTIFF, and the naming rule is ASMEU_ Mland_ yyyyddd.tif/ASMEU_ Mland_ yyyyddd.tif
