Important notice for users of the Soil moisture gridded data from 1978 to present dataset
The regular 10-day ICDR data updates was temporarily suspended since 20 September 2026 after the data providers identified gaps affecting the period 1-20 September 2026.
The issue has now been resolved, and the corrected data for this period has today, Wednesday 21 October 2026, been republished under a new version, v202505.2. Regular ICDR updates will resume thereafter. The issue has been documented as a Known issue.
Please note that the affected files will remain available under v202505, but this version should no longer be used.
What action is required?
If you downloaded v202505 or v202505.1 data covering 1-20 September 2026, please download the corrected version (v202505.2) .
Users accessing the dataset via the API will also need to update their scripts to retrieve data from v202505.2.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your understanding.
Regards,
ECMWF Support
