This dataset contains Africa-wide soil moisture and related water balance variables produced within the Earth Observation Climate Information Service (EOCIS) project.
The product is derived using the JULES land surface model, forced with TAMSAT satellite rainfall estimates and other meteorological variables from the NCEP reanalysis, and tuned to NASA SMAP satellite soil moisture observations. Data are provided at the daily scale, from 1983-01-01 to present (latency around 7 days) at 0.25 degrees by 0.25 degrees spatial resolution.
