The Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) “Surface Soil Moisture 9 km (L4, 12z Instantaneous, Model Value-Added)” layer displays model-derived global surface soil moisture of the top 5 cm of the soil column in m3/m3 posted on a 9 km EASE-Grid 2.0.

Surface soil moisture estimates are obtained by merging SMAP observations with estimates from a land surface model in a soil moisture ensemble Kalman filter data assimilation system.

12z indicates the Z (or UTC) time used for nearest 3-hourly analysis time when SMAP observations are merged into the assimilation system.
