Description
Summary:This dataset is a partial update of the ESA Data User Element (DUE) Permafrost Full Product Set (doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.780111).The ASCAT Surface Status as well as the Surface Soil Moisture (SSM) Product is derived from the ASCAT sensor onboard Metop satellite. The surface status (also called freeze/thaw information) is described in Naeimi et al. (2012). The soil moisture derivation algorithm is based on a change detection method initially proposed by Wagner et al. (1999). ASCAT SSM product is the result of an improved SSM retrieval algorithm developed at the Institute for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (IPF) of the Vienna University of Technology (Naeimi et al., 2009). The SSM Product as defined in the DUE Permafrost project (Bartsch & Seifert 2012) is delivered as weekly average and with 25km spatial resolution. This average is derived on a daily basis for the preceding week in accordance with the DUE GlobSnow product definitions. The daily surface status information is valid for the given date. The ...
