Concise description:

The soil moisture map and the anomaly, as well as, the forecast maps provide information on spatial distribution of the soil water content and its evolution along the time. Each day the EDO mapserver automatically update the soil moisture values over the last ground observation available and the weather forecast The soil moisture map as well as the Anomaly map could provide a “proxy” information on the possible presence of drought conditions in case of pF values bigger than 4.2÷4.4 or/and in case of large deviations from the long term average conditions. Of course, the presence of real water stressing conditions depends on the specific plant resistance and capacity to water extraction from the soil matrix. At the same time pF values lower than 2 could be consider as indicator of soil water excess.
