NOAA Soil Moisture Operational Product System (SMOPS): New Products & Applications

In the last year, CISESS Scientist Jifu Yin has continued making significant improvements to the NOAA Soil Moisture Operational Product System (SMOPS). A new version of near-real-time soil moistures products is about to be released and progress has been made toward a new high-resolution (1 km) product. New satellites are being added to SMOPS: GOSAT-GW, WSF-M and NISAR. SMOPS also has been integrated with the Land Data Assimilation System for the Unified Forecast System.
