abstract: "<p>This dataset comprises open loop simulations of the ISBA land surface model and ASCAT normalized backscatter and slope data at grid points (GPIs) containing International Soil Moisture Network stations. The dataset covers the period from 2007 to 2019 and includes a total of 31 GPIs.&nbsp;</p><p>The ISBA land surface model runs on the offline version of SURFEX software (https://www.umr-cnrm.fr/surfex/) using ERA5 forcing data. ASCAT normalized backscatter (“sig”) data are provided at 10am and 10pm every day. If normalized backscatter are not acquired at a particular time, a value of 999 is provided.</p><p>ASCAT slope (“slop”) is calculated daily following Hahn et al. (2017). These daily values are provided at 10am in this dataset. The slope value at 10pm is set to 999.&nbsp;</p>"
