We are thrilled to announce the public release of a new version of the ESA CCI SM dataset (v05.2). The scientific advancements include refined radiometer data retrieval algorithm, improved intercalibration of AMSR-2 in the PASSIVE product and perhaps most excitingly- the highly anticipated inclusion of SMAP data!
