		The Soil Moisture (Normalized Polarization Difference, Day) layer displays gridded estimates of surface soil moisture in the top 1 cm of soil and is measured in grams per centimeter by volume (g/cm<sup>3</sup>). It is estimated from AMSR-E/Aqua and AMSR2/GCOM-W1 L2A brightness temperature (Tb) measurements using the Normalized Polarization Difference algorithm (NPD) approach. Soil moisture estimates are derived from AMSR-E and AMSR2 data which have been spatially resampled by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) to intercalibrate, or “unify,” the two sensors.
