Daily top-layer (~ 0-2 cm) soil moisture derived from ASCAT sensor aboard Metop-A. The data are from the TUW (Technical University of Vienna) and derived using the time series approach of Wagner, Wolfgang; Lemoine, Guido; Rott, Helmut (1999): A method for estimating soil moisture from ERS scatterometer and soil data. Remote Sensing of Environment, 70(2), 191-207, doi:10.1016/S0034-4257(99)00036-X. The daily product is generated for Australia using the average of ascending and descending passes. The data are resampled using nearest neighbour resampling to 0.05 degree resolution for the whole country.
