Soil Moisture

NIDIS and its partners support efforts to develop a national soil moisture monitoring network. For more information, see the 2013 report, “Developing a Coordinated National Soil Moisture Network.”

Climate Reference Network (CRN) and Soil Climate Analysis Network (SCAN) are a collection of climate monitoring stations which track, among other things, soil moisture and temperature at a series of depths.
