SMAP Enhanced L3 Radiometer Global Daily 9 km EASE-Grid Soil Moisture, Version
2
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/548.011

Summary
This data set contains the surface soil moisture (0-5 cm) derived from SMAP
(Soil Moisture Active Passive) satellite radiometer brightness temperatures on
a global 9km EASE-Grid 2.0. The brightness temperatures are also included.
Data are included for the period of the WE-CAN/BB-FLUX field projects. The
data are in daily gzipped tar files that contain the data in HDF5 format.

NSIDC has issued updated versions of this dataset. Version 5 was published in
November 2021: https://doi.org/10.5067/4DQ54OUIJ9DL
