Daily root-zone soil moisture (0-1 m soil layer), 50th percentile of the ensemble of model estimates: AWRA 0.5, 0.05 degree, Australian Coverage, 2000-2011

Modelled top-layer soil moisture (0-10 cm) using the Australian Water Resources Assessment model via assimilation of satellite soil moisture products: 50th percentile of the ensemble of model estimates. Note that the data represents the mean of an ensemble of 100 modelled estimates for each data derived via perturbed meteorological forcing. Resolution of the output data is 0.05-degree for the whole country. The unit of measure is relative wetness (0-1, indicating 0 and 100% degree of saturation).
