Document Description
An accurate depiction of soil moisture conditions can provide valuable insights for agricultural conditions monitoring, weather prediction, and drought and flood early warning. NOAA’s National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS), working in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and other partners, is leading the effort to implement the National Coordinated Soil Moisture Monitoring Network (NCSMMN): a multi-institutional initiative to integrate soil moisture data from across the country and to capitalize on its transformative potential across sectors of the economy.
