Global Soil Moisture Data Bank
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
The Global Soil Moisture Data Bank contains our collection of actual observations of soil moisture from around the world.
Description
These are actually measured with gravimetric (most) or neutron probes (Illinois), 2 or 3 times per month, for many years. These are NOT model calculations or results of remote sensing.
Two of their most important uses are to serve as ground truth (literally) for land surface parameterizations and for remote sensing. We are currently using them for both these purposes. All the data may be downloaded for free.

Currently we have data from the former Soviet Union, China, Mongolia, Iowa, and Illinois. Soil moisture data is also available from India. Please contact the investigators for access procedures.
