Abstract:

It is of great significance for management of agricultural production and research on climate change to monitor large-scale soil moisture using remote sensing technology. In the dataset, 18°N-38°N, 97°E-122°36'E in southeastern China was selected as the study area. The space borne GNSS-R belongs to the cross-disciplinary category of satellite navigation applications and remote sensing, and its working band L is sensitive to soil moisture changes, which provides a new technical means for large-scale soil moisture detection. The author used publicly released space borne GNSS-R data, i.e., CYGNSS data, to realize an effective calculation method for complex surface soil moisture, and to generate the daily soil moisture dataset in southeastern China from January 2019 to October 2020. The dataset has a temporal resolution of daily and a spatial resolution of 0.36°x0.36°. The dataset includes the following data in the study area: (1) daily soil moisture in 2019; and (2) daily soil moisture from January to October in 2020. The dataset is archived in .tiff and .mdd formats, and consists of 1338 data files with data size of 40.1 MB (compressed to one file with 21.6 MB).
