The Soil Climate Analysis Network (SCAN) is a comprehensive, nationwide soil moisture and climate information system designed to provide data to support natural resource assessments and conservation activities. Administered by the United States Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) through the National Water and Climate Center (NWCC), in cooperation with the NRCS National Soil Survey Center, the system focuses on agricultural areas of the U.S. monitoring soil temperature and soil moisture content at several depths, soil water level, air temperature, relative humidity, solar radiation, wind, precipitation, barometric pressure, and more.土壤气候分析网络（Soil Climate Analysis Network，SCAN）是一套覆盖全美、综合性的土壤湿度与气候信息系统，旨在为自然资源评估与保护活动提供数据支撑。该系统由美国农业部自然资源保护局（Natural Resources Conservation Service，NRCS）依托国家水与气候中心（National Water and Climate Center，NWCC）运营管理，并与NRCS国家土壤调查中心开展合作。本系统聚焦美国农业区域，可监测多深度土层温度、土壤含水量、地下水位、空气温度、相对湿度、太阳辐射、风速、降水量、大气压力等多项指标。
