The Calibration and Validation Version 2 Release of the SMAP Level 3 Daily Global Composite Active Soil Moisture Science Processing Software.
Daily global composite of up-to 15 half-orbit L2_SM_A soil moisture estimates based on radar backscatter measurements acquired by the SMAP radar during descending half-orbits at approximately 6 AM local solar time.
The SMAP L3_SM_A algorithm processor provides daily gridded radar backscatter measurements and retrieved soil moistures based on synthetic-aperture radar data on a 3 km grid.
The software that generates the Level 3 SM_A product and the data system that automates its production were designed and implemented at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, California.

geoscientificInformation
Data product generated by the SMAP mission in HDF5 format with metadata that conforms to the ISO 19115 model.
Soil moisture is retrieved over land targets on the descending (AM) SMAP half-orbits when the SMAP spacecraft is travelling from North to South, while the SMAP instruments are operating in the nominal mode. The L3_SM_A product represents soil moisture retrieved over the entre UTC day. Retrievals are performed but flagged as questionable over urban areas, mountainous areas with high elevation variability, and areas with high ( > 5 kg/m**2) vegetation water content; for retrievals using the high-resolution radar, cells in the nadir region are also flagged. Retrievals are inhibited for permanent snow/ice, frozen ground, and excessive static or transient open water in the cell, and for excessive RFI in the sensor data.

The SMAP observatory houses an L-band radiometer that operates at 1.414 GHz and an L-band radar that operates at 1.225 GHz. The instruments share a rotating reflector antenna with a 6 meter aperture that scans over a 1000 km swath. The bus is a 3 axis stabilized spacecraft that provides momentum compensation for the rotating antenna.

The L3_SM_A product represents soil moisture retrieved over the entre UTC day. Retrievals are performed but flagged as questionable over urban areas, mountainous areas with high elevation variability, and areas with high ( > 5 kg/m**2) vegetation water content; for retrievals using the high-resolution radar, cells in the nadir region are also flagged. Retrievals are inhibited for permanent snow/ice, frozen ground, and excessive static or transient open water in the cell, and for excessive RFI in the sensor data.";
