Soil surface moisture in Ghana, by month

Below is an excerpt for a project I am working on to investigate shocks and their impact of social protection beneficiaries in Ghana. I use Google Earth Engine data to map soil surface moisture, an indirect measure of precipitation, across Ghana's districts. Ghana is located on the Gulf of Guinea, only a few degrees north of the Equator, giving it a warm, tropical climate. The south-west corner of Ghana is hot and humid, and the north is hot and dry. The gif map shows how soil surface moisture varies throughout the year.
