The Soil Moisture Information Processing System (SMIPS)


The Soil Soil Moisture Processing System (SMIPS) estimates national daily volumetric soil water contents at a 1km resoultion. All products are considered experimental and should be used with caution. The system ingests daily climate data and runs a simple soil water bucket model. The Available Soil Water Capacity information is sourced from the Soil and Landscape Grid of Australia. The model calculates daily soil mositure fluxes which are also adjusted according to the SMOS satellite observations.

Soil Moisture Map Products

Currently there are 2 national soil moisture map products available in SMIPS

  • Total volumetric soil moisture content (mm)
  • Proportion Full
  • Contacts
