Description

These data consist of ground-based, soil moisture, soil temperature, and air temperature measurements recorded by twenty-five temporary stations located in the vicinity of Petersham, MA during the SMAPVEX19-22 campaign. The stations were installed across an area of approximately 23 km by 36 km in May 2019 and operated through 2022. Note that the product is named SMAPVEX19-22 because, although the current coverage is through 2021, it is projected to include 2022 data in the future.
