SHARE was one of the European Space Agency's DUE Tiger projects. SHARE introduced an semi-operational soil moisture monitoring service based on a synergistic use of ENVISAT's ASAR sensor and METOP scatterometer.The suit of three SHARE projects started in December 2005 and finished in January 2012! We thank all of you who expressed interest, applied the soil moisture dataset and helped us to evaluate its quality.

The SHARE team will continue with a) validation and improvement of the ENVISAT ASAR soil moisture product, b) cooperation with modellers and data assimilation experts and c) extension of the algorithms to upcoming Sentinel-1-sensor. Please, visit this website for any news connected to the latter activities.
