Monitoring soil mositure can help identify where flooding has occurred due to Cyclone Idai and what areas may be more prone to flooding if future rainfall occurs. This time-enabled dataset shows the evolution of the soil moisture leading up to and after the landfall of the cyclone.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN STYLE="font-weight:bold;">Suggested Use:</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>High values in blue and green show more saturated (wetter) soil.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Low values in orange and brown show drier soil.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Areas with increased soil moisture may have been flooded during the event, and are generally more prone to flooding if more rain occurs.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN STYLE="font-weight:bold;">Satellite/Sensor:</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>The data set is generated by integrating satellite-derived Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) Level 3 soil moisture observations into the modified two-layer Palmer model using a 1-D Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF) data assimilation approach.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>SMAP L-Band Radiometer; 0.25x0.25 degree resolution</SPAN></P><P><SPAN STYLE="font-weight:bold;">Credits:</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Reichle, R., G.
