On 24th-26th September, some of the COSMOS-UK team attended the 7th International COSMOS Workshop in Hillsborough, Northern Ireland.
The event was a platform for scientists and international experts in the area of soil moisture observation research to come together and share knowledge, experience and expertise.
Part of the event involved a field trip to one of our three COSMOS-UK sites in Northern Ireland (pictured), as well as presentations from our team.

New COSMOS-UK paper
Future increases in soil moisture drought frequency at UK monitoring sites: merging the JULES land model with observations and convection-permitting UK climate projections. Find out more about the paper here. Full paper available at: https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-9326/ad7045.
Latest 10-year (2013-2023) full dataset now available!
We are pleased to announce that the latest COSMOS-UK dataset has been released via the Environmental Information Data Centre (EIDC). This contains daily and sub-daily hydrometeorological and soil moisture observations from the COSMOS-UK network from 2013 to 2023 - a full 10-year dataset for some of our sites! This latest dataset includes updated COSMOS VWC values based on updates to the gamma correction parameter to account for changes in the solar cycle.
