The article offers information on the ESA CCI SM multisatellite surface soil moisture dataset developed by the European Space Agency (ESA) Climate Change Initiative which monitors the moisture content of soil using satellite-mounted microwave instruments. Among the anomalies computed based on the dataset include dry conditions in central-eastern Europe and Spain, lack of water supply in Brazil, and drought conditions in southeastern Africa.
