description: Global multi-layer soil moisture products covering 1970–2016 at 0.5° spatial resolution and monthly temporal resolution, provided for four soil depth layers (0–10 cm, 10–30 cm, 30–50 cm, 50–100 cm). The dataset provides global, gap-free soil moisture fields intended for large-scale hydrologic, climate, and land-surface applications.
