Soil Moisture for Western Russia and The Ukraine

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: April 12, 2026 at 09:12 PM | Dataset Last Updated: December 12, 2002 at 12:00 AM
This dataset, DSI-6411 is comprised of soil moisture data and the accompanying information for the agricultural regions of Western Russia (west of ~ 60E) and The Ukraine for the period from 1992 to 1996. These data are collected routinely for agro-meteorological monitoring of these two countries and serve as an input for the in-situ assessment of the state of the major crops.
