Soil Moisture CCI website launched
Submitted by eva on Wed, 2012-03-28 14:00
Today the Soil Moisture CCI website was launched. It will highlight the latest research findings in the soil moisture domain and will allow for external user participation and support. The website will also provide an interface for data dissemination and will support project coordination and monitoring. Over time this website will evolve showing new features, news, events and other important issues.
