Document Description

Understanding the use cases and value of the U.S. Climate Reference Network (USCRN) soil moisture data is essential to inform future directions for the soil moisture network. In 2023-2024, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) conducted extensive outreach both within and external to NOAA to assess the utilization, value, and potential impacts of downsizing or discontinuing the soil moisture network.

This NOAA Technical Report, Soil Moisture Components of the U.S. Climate Reference Network: An Assessment on the Utilization, Value, and Potential Impacts of Downsizing or Discontinuation, documents a wide range of the soil moisture community and their uses of the USCRN soil moisture dataset.
