(2021) SMAP-HydroBlocks: Hyper-resolution satellite-based soil moisture over the continental United States. Zenodo doi:10.5281/zenodo.4441211 [Dataset]
Abstract
SMAP-HydroBlocks (SMAP-HB) is a hyper-resolution satellite-based surface soil moisture product that combines NASA's Soil Moisture Active-Passive (SMAP) L3 Enhance product, hyper-resolution land surface modeling, radiative transfer modeling, machine learning, and in-situ observations. The dataset was developed over the continental United States at 30-m 6-hourly resolution (2015–2019), and it reports the top 5-cm surface soil moisture in volumetric units (m3/m3). This repository contains the following two versions of the SMAP-HydroBlocks dataset: SMAP-HB_hru_6h.zip: SMAP-HydroBlocks data in the Hydrological Response Unit (HRU) space. Storing the data in the HRU space enables the entire 30-m 6-h dataset to be compressed to 33.8 GB. A python script and instructions to post-process and remap the data from the HRU-space into geographic coordinates (latitude, longitude) is provided at GitHub. After post-processed, files are stored in netCDF4 format with a Plate Carrée projection. SMAP-HB_1km_6h.zip: SMAP-HydroBlocks data at 1-km 6-h resolution. This aggregated version is already post-processed, and thus it is already in geographic coordinates (latitude, longitude), stored in netCDF4 format, with a Plate Carrée projection, and comprising 31.5 GB of data. Different subsets of the original dataset can be made available on request from Noemi Vergopolan (noemi.v.rocha@gmail.com).
