Summary

A soil moisture product for Great Britain at two spatial resolutions: 12.5km and 1km, based on triple collocation error estimation and a least-squares merging scheme. Two remote sensing soil moisture datasets (one passive microwave dataset: SMAP, and one active microwave dataset: ASCAT) and a modelled soil moisture dataset (from JULES-CHESS land surface model) were combined to produce this dataset. The dataset covers the period going from 1st April 2015 to 31st December 2017, at a daily timestep, and is available at two spatial resolutions: 12.5km; and 1km, which has been obtained after resampling all three underlying datasets to a 1km resolution.
