Next Generation Water Observing System (NGWOS) - Advancing Soil Moisture Monitoring
Soil moisture is an important part of the climate system, but it remains difficult to measure accurately. In 2022, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) began building a soil moisture monitoring network to provide high-quality continuous soil moisture data, standardize data collection methods, and test new technologies. Stations are placed in different climates and land cover types to capture a broad...
