We're excited to announce a new addition to the "NVE" network located in Norway! Saerheim station has been providing soil moisture and soil temperature measurements at various depths since 2006 to the present day. Additionally, the station offers on-site measurements of precipitation and air temperature.
Visit https://ismn.earth/en/dataviewer/ to access data from NVE and other networks.
We would like to thank Fred Wenger for providing us with the data and for his help during the implementation process!

The Russian network "Ru_CFR" has been updated for the year of 2023. Unfortunately, there is no data for air temperature sensor at 1 m Height at the Ru-Fyo station because the sensor is broken.
Many thanks to Andrej Varlagin for providing us with data and information.
We are very delighted to announce that we updated SoilSCAPE within the ISMN.
In the past, soil moisture data from several SoilSCAPE sites have already been available through the ISMN.
In the last few years, the SoilSCAPE team have installed eight new sites, two are located in the San Luis Valley of Colorado, USA, three are located at Jornada Experimental Range in New Mexico, USA and finally, three are located in the north island of New Zealand.
Additionally, the sites Kendall and Lucky Hills in Walnut Gulch, Arizona, which are already part of ISMN have been revived.
For most of the sites soil moisture and soil temperature is measured in 5, 10, 20 and 30 cm depths. Additionally, air temperature and precipitation is provided.
For the new installed sites the data availability ranges from Dezember 2021 until end of February 2024. The network will be set up for our daily data updates soon.
We would kindly thank Erik Hodges, Mahta Moghaddam, Amer Melebari, Michael Wheater and the SoilSCAPE network team for providing us with the data and all the relevant information for the implementation!
The French network "FR_Aqui" has been updated for the year of 2023. Unfortunately there is no data for the two stations GrandCal and Fraye as they burned down in 2022. Good news is that the two stations are now being reinstalled and we can expect data updates for the the year 2024.
For the parcMeteo station, almost 6 months of data are missing (from January to June), unfortunately there have been instrument issues, but this is now fixed.
We also have had to correct the measuring depths for the parcMeteo station. Before soil moisture and temperature have been measured in 1, 3, 10 and 50 cm. But this changed in the beginning of 2013. Since then the sensors are installed in 5, 10, 25 and 50 cm. Please note that therefore the whole timespan of the parcMeteo station has been reprocessed.
Many thanks to Sylvia Dayau, Jean-Pierre Wigneron and Christelle Aluome for providing us with data and information.
