| Detail : |  Soil moisture maps covering the entire southern African subcontinent with 1km resolution are now available from ENVISAT. The TIGER project SHARE has project has demonstrated that spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) instruments can deliver soil moisture data of high spatial (1 km) and temporal (< 1 week) resolution. Monthly composites of relative soil moisture are available on country level for evaluation by current and potential users for January 2005 until December 2006. The actual database covers all continental SADC countries and is updated regularly. Georeferenced datasets can be requested via the SHARE webpage .
