Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: The coordinated National Soil Moisture Network (NSMN) aims to integrate soil moisture (SM) data from several existing in situ monitoring networks throughout the United States, and to synergistically merge these data with remotely-sensed and modeled SM products to generate near real-time, high-resolution, gridded national SM maps and other products. These deliverables are expected to reduce societal risks from hazards such as drought, flood and fire, as well as to improve characterization of national water budgets.
