Soil Moisture/Water Content Data Access and Tools
NASA has soil moisture and water content datasets that help researchers characterize the condition of soil around the world. Access a range of data and data tools such as the Soil Moisture Visualizer, Crop Condition and Soil Moisture Analytics (Crop-CASMA), and AppEEARS to make the most of soil moisture data.
