Retrieval and Analysis of ASCAT and ISMN Data for Soil Moisture Estimation DMP

This DMP outlines a project focused on retrieving and analyzing satellite-based ASCAT data and in-situ ISMN data for soil moisture estimation. By leveraging the H-SAF ASCAT SM CDR and ISMN data, the project explores the spatiotemporal dynamics of soil moisture and includes the calculation of Vegetation Optical Depth (VOD). Through the analysis of these datasets, the project aims to enhance our understanding of soil moisture dynamics and their implications for various applications such as agriculture, hydrology, and climate modeling. Following the Science Europe guidance and utilizing the TU Wien DMP Tool layout, the project ensures robust data management practices for reproducibility and facilitates the sharing and reuse of its findings.
