Short summary
This article presents the latest version of the H SAF (Satellite Application Facility on Support to Operational Hydrology and Water Management) ASCAT (Advanced Scatterometer) SSM (surface soil moisture) datasets, unifying the NRT (near real-time) product with the historical offline data record. This release now applies the latest retrieval algorithm to both data streams, creating a consistent and unified data stream that is further complemented by a new, high-resolution 6.25 km sampling SSM product. The H SAF ASCAT SSM datasets are publicly available from https://hsaf.meteoam.it.
