The National Soil Moisture Network (NSMN) is a coordinated, multi-agency, multi-institution effort within the United States dedicated to integrating soil moisture data from many platforms over multiple spatial and temporal scales to benefit a broad range of end users. The NSMN aims to aggregate and integrate soil moisture data from over 1,800 stations of existing in situ monitoring networks throughout the US into a consistent product, and to merge these in situ data with remotely-sensed and modeled hydrologic data for the generation of real-time, meaningful, easy-to-understand products and services. These near real-time products and services are expected to reduce societal risks from hazards such as a drought, flood and fire, contribute to better hazard early warning systems, to improve characterization of national water budgets and climate models, and to improve crop production and resilience, and to benefit many additional user groups.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal
