GSWP (Global Soil Wetness Project)

The Global Soil Wetness Project (GSWP) is an international effort that collects and analyzes data on soil moisture—how wet or dry soils are—around the world. By combining measurements from satellites, weather observations, and computer models, GSWP helps scientists understand soil conditions, which are crucial for weather prediction, agriculture, and climate change studies. This project provides a consistent and comprehensive picture of global soil moisture patterns over time, aiding in better environmental management and policy decisions.
