AMSR-E/2 Soil Moisture Data Set for 25km of the Upper Yangtze River in China (2002-2020)


This dataset contains geophysical parameter files retrieved from satellites generated by the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer Earth Observation System (AMSR-E) instrument on NASA Aqua satellite and the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 (AMSR2) sensor on JAXA GCOM-W1 satellite. Geophysical parameters include daily air surface temperature, estimated coverage of some open water areas, optical depth of vegetation, surface volume, soil moisture and precipitable vapor in the atmospheric column. The global search was conducted on land that is not sediment, snow or ice covered. 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 TIFF, and the naming rule is ASMEU_ Mland_ yyyydddA.tif/ASMEU_ Mland_ yyyydddD.tif
