Soil Moisture Trend

Analyzes the long-term change in soil moisture levels to reveal whether a region is experiencing a trend towards wetter or drier conditions. This is a critical indicator for assessing the impacts of climate change on water resources and agricultural productivity. Understanding soil moisture trends is essential for long-term strategic planning, from guiding investments in water infrastructure to adapting agricultural systems to be more resilient to future droughts.

Possible historical trends over the past 5 years are estimated from the satellite derived soil moisture time-series using time-series statistics (seasonal decomposition).
