Difference from Normal Soil Moisture (mm)
Difference from normal soil moisture is the modelled amount of plant available water (mm) in the root zone of the soil, minus the average amount that has historically been available on that day. This value is intended to provide users with a representation of conditions above or below normal and by the amount of water (mm).
Values are computed using the Versatile Soil Moisture Budget (VSMB)
