SM2RAIN data sets

We delivered several rainfall products obtained from satellite soil moisture data through the SM2RAIN algorithm (Brocca et al., 2014). The more recent datasets have improved spatial-temporal resolution, all datasets are freely available and can be downloaded by clicking on the link(s) below.

We have published 4 SM2RAIN-based global rainfall dataset on Zenodo (FREELY available)

We would like to know explicitly the users of our datasets for further improving their quality and usage.


GLOBAL SCALE RAINFALL PRODUCTS obtained through ASCAT, SMAP, SMOS and ESA CCI soil moisture products are available:

We also delivered two regional datasets obtained from ASCAT:


 

Additional products will be available soon covering a longer time period and exploiting new satellite soil moisture products by SMOS, SMAP, Sentinel-1, and others (e.g., Koster et al., 2016Román-Cascón et al., 2017Tarpanelli et al., 2017, SM2RAIN-SCATSAR).
