Soil Moisture 101: What It Means and How It’s Measured (Full Webinar)

NIDIS and the National Weather Service (NWS) are hosting two webinars on soil moisture data and applications. These webinars are intended to help NWS operational forecasters and other weather & climate service providers better understand soil moisture monitoring and its practical applications.

The first webinar, "Soil Moisture 101: What It Means and How It's Measured,"
was held on February 22, 2022. This webinar provided an overview of soil moisture monitoring and interpretation, including a review of the three main techniques for estimating soil moisture conditions: in situ ground-based systems, satellite measurements, and land surface model outputs.
