  New soil moisture product from UW
   
  The University of Washington Experimental Surface Water Monitor is a new
online product that provides fine spatial scale soil moisture and snow
water equivalent maps for the United States. As the Southwest lacks soil
moisture and spatially-continuous snowpack estimates, this product helps
provide physically-based estimates. The maps are created daily from the
output of a sophisticated hydrologic model that is driven by real-time
observations from approximately 2,130 stations across the country. The maps
present the data in terms of percentiles (rankings) or in terms of the
categories used by the U.S. Drought Monitor. The product allows the user to
see modeled soil moisture changes in one-day, one-week, two-week, and
one-month increments, as well as fourteen-day animations for the western
U.S. and Mexico. The website also includes an extensive archive of monthly
maps going back to 1915. This product is experimental, so take a look and
give the product developers your
 feedback!
