*Topic: *Operational Implementation of the Soil Moisture Operational
Product System (SMOPS)
*Date/Time**Issued:*September 25, 2012 1807 UTC ***
*
*Product(s) or Data Impacted:*Operational capability for global soil
moisture from multiple polar satellites/sensors ****
*Date/Time of Initial Impact:*September 26, 2012, 2000 UTC ****
*Date/Time of Expected End:*TBD****
*Length of Outage:*TBD *
*
*Details/Specifics of Change: *The SMOPS retrieves and merges soil
moisture retrievals from multi-satellites/sensors, including Windsat,
ASCAT, SMOS, to provide a unified soil moisture product over global
land
in supporting the NWS users' need for a satellite-based global soil
moisture observational data product for its land surface model
assimilation. On September 26, 2012, 20:00:00 UTC, the SMOPS will be
implemented into the ESPC operation and supported under 8x5.
The products are available in both 6-hourly and daily composites, and
provided to users through the ESPC Data Distribution Server (DDS). The
imagery products are available on the Internet through:
