TEMBO Africa Soil Moisture Maps provide information about how
much of the rainfall runs off over the surface, how much is stored
in the rootzone to feed crops and vegetation, and how much
seeps down to replenish the groundwater. For this purpose, a
combination of data from TAHMO hydrometeorological stations,
satellites and the BLOSM sensors is leveraged, while the same
procedure as the Copernicus European Flood Awareness System
is used. These maps are scalable across the entire continent and
feature a low latency of two days
