Soil Moisture Anomalies - ERA5_QM

The Soil Moisture Anomaly is a drought indicator used to detect and monitor agricultural drought conditions, defined by a prolonged period of deficit in the availability of soil moisture to plants. The soil moisture anomalies provided as part of the Alpine Drought Observatory was derived from ERA5 Volumetric Soil Water Layers at different depths with Layer 1 (0-7cm), Layer 2 (7-28cm), Layer 3 (28–100cm), and Layer 4 (100-289cm). The input ERA5 soil moisture dataset was downscaled using a quantile mapping approach. Daily anomalies were calculated using a climatological mean and standard deviation of soil moisture from a smoothed time-series (running mean on a 10-day window) for a reference period of 1981–2020. The Soil Moisture Anomalies values range from -5 to +5, with negative values indicating drier than conditions while positive values indicate wetter than normal conditions, and -1 to +1 values indicates near-normal conditions. Datasets contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service Information [1980–current year]; contains modified Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service Information [1980-current year]. Neither the European Commission nor ECMWF is responsible for any use that may be made of the Copernicus information or data it contains.
