From 14/07/2025, the Soil moisture gridded data from 1978 to present Active and Combined products will no longer be regularly updated due to changes in the ASCAT Soil Moisture products. The differences between the new products and the now-discontinued ones mean it is not possible to integrate them into the existing processing chain for v202312 and v202212. The Passive product is unaffected.
Regular updates to the Active and Combined products will resume upon release of v202505, for which the processing chain is being updated to accommodate the new ASCAT products.
For further information on the changes to the ASCAT Soil Moisture products, please see here: https://user.eumetsat.int/news-events/news/changes-to-ascat-soil-moisture-products
We appreciate your understanding and patience during this unavoidable temporary suspension of regular updates. We recommend users to watch this Forum announcement to receive email notification of update on this topic.
