Description

The Soil Water Content is the measure of the amount of water present in a unit volume of soil. It is typically expressed as a percentage and represents the ratio between the volume of water and the total volume of the soil. This measurement is crucial for understanding the water status of the soil and provides information on factors such as drought monitoring, soil health and hydrological processes. The Soil Water Content Planetary Variable measures the water content of the soil almost daily with a spatial resolution of 100 m and 1000 m. It is not affected by clouds and has a long and consistent data record of more than 20 years, so there is no need to maintain large networks of physical sensors.
