Dataset description

Soil moisture corresponds to the volumetric fraction of water contained in the soil, expressed in cubic meters of water per cubic meter of soil (m³/m³). The GBOV service (Ground-Based Observations for Validation) is a project funded by the European Commission. Its objective is to provide analysis-ready validation data to support the evaluation of Earth Observation products. The core aim of GBOV is to generate upscaled products derived from ground-based measurements. This dataset consists of Land Products (LPs) generated using surface soil moisture in-situ measurements collected from stations located in North America, Europe, Australia, Africa and Asia. These ground data are combined with SLSTR Level 2 LST products and SLSTR Level 1 NDVI to build this upscaled Soil Moisture LP. The product resolution is 0.1degx0.1deg.

Yes. Selected APIs include a free API quota, so your team can validate coverage, freshness, response shape and workflow fit before asking for a production plan.

Often yes, but usage rights depend on the source license and dataset. We surface source, license and update metadata where available, and can help review terms before a production integration.

Maintained APIs include update metadata where available. For production integrations, we can add history, monitoring and push updates so changes are easier to detect and act on.

Production APIs can add SLA, stable identifiers, versioning support, history, push updates and direct support around the data your product or AI workflow depends on.
