The International Soil Moisture Network (ISMN, https://ismn.earth) provides freely accessible soil moisture data and ancillary observations, including precipitation, air and soil temperature and snow information. All data within the ISMN are harmonized and quality controlled to best serve our users.

In addition to providing data, ISMN actively engages with soil moisture observation specialists, data providers, data users and scientists. These efforts aim to foster the cooperation among this groups and build a community of soil moisture enthusiasts.

This splinter meeting is intended to support these efforts. After a brief introduction of 5-10 minutes, participants will have the opportunity to meet and discuss topics of interest. We will also have a poster presentation during the meeting where we will showcase recent advancements from ISMN including data availability and usage of ISMN data, ISMN’s quality control procedure, soil moisture sensor technologies and services utilizing ISMN data.

However, we welcome debates about any other related topic as well. We hope to bring together data providers, sensor manufacturers and data users to facilitate discussions and share experiences.
