The International Soil Moisture Network (ISMN) is a community-based open-access data portal for soil water measurements taken at the ground and is accessible at https://ismn.earth. Over 1000 scientific publications and thousands of users have made use of the ISMN. The scope of this paper is to inform readers about the data and functionality of the ISMN and to provide a review of the scientific progress facilitated through the ISMN with the scope to shape future research and operations.

Short summary
The performance of the SimSphere SVAT model was comprehensively validated against in situ measurements from selected US and Australian sites of the FLUXNET monitoring network for 2011. The results obtained confirmed the correspondence of the model structure to the real conditions for which it was parameterised, evidencing its ability to reproduce outputs akin to the in situ reference data.To our knowledge this is the first comprehensive validation of SimSphere for Australia and the USA.

This study evaluated the ability of the SimSphere SVAT model in estimating key parameters characterising land surface interactions. Results confirmed the correspondence of the model structure to real conditions for which it had been parameterised, evidencing its ability to reproduce outputs akin to the in situ data. To our knowledge this is the first comprehensive validation of the model. Findings are very important since use of the model is growing globally as educational and research tool.
