Soil Moisture Measurement Field Campaign - SMAP
Soil Moisture Measurement Field Campaign
The SMAP Soil Moisture Measurement Field Campaign has begun! Start collecting and submitting your data now!
The NASA SMAP satellite team needs your volumetric soil moisture data. We have developed the SMAP Block Pattern Soil Moisture Protocol so that GLOBE students can do just that, collect soil moisture measurements just like the SMAP satellite. With this campaign, we will have webinars, blogs, global shout-outs to the top 3 collecting teams and countries, as well as interactions with NASA scientists and presentations from teacher participants.
Please join us in this exciting campaign!
Collect soil moisture data using the following:
