自2008年12月以来，欧洲气象卫星开发组织（EUMETSAT）一直在通过其广播系统EUMETCast传播全球25公里ASCAT表层土壤湿度的近实时数据（在感知后135分钟内）。ASCAT地表土壤湿度产品因此是第一个真正可操作的卫星土壤湿度产品，可用于数值天气预报（NWP），洪水预报和其他时间紧迫的应用。在本文中，我们介绍了ASCAT 2级土壤水分处理器的现状，回顾了首次发表的验证和应用研究，并讨论了进一步改进的计划。
Since December 2008 the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT) has been disseminating global 25 km ASCAT surface soil moisture data in near real-time (within 135 minutes after sensing) over its broadcast system EUMETCast. The ASCAT surface soil moisture product is thus the first truly operational satellite soil moisture product that may be used for Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP), flood forecasting and other time-critical applications. In this paper we provide information about the status of the ASCAT Level 2 soil moisture processor, review first published validation and application studies and discuss plans for further improvements.
