The Soil Moisture Index (SMI) is a product from the Drought Monitor of Umweltforschungszentrum Leipzig (UFZ). It classifies the soil moisture in soil moisture index classes (drought classes) according to the long-term local soil moisture distribution. The assignment of a particular soil moisture value to a soil moisture index is not fixed but depends on the history of the local soil moisture distribution over time. Example: A soil moisture of 10% (volumetric) might be classified as very dry at a usually wet location with a higher mean moisture over the last decades but classified as moderate at another location with lower mean moisture.

Download the historical Soil Moisture Index data from the topsoil (up to 25 cm depth) and total soil moisture (up to 1.8m) datasets from the official UFZ Drought Monitor Website. Inahve downloaded it . It's in netcdf Format

In which way to import the data in QGIS to use the temporal controller . Doubts:in which format should I transform so that I would be able to perform temporal controller

Have tries converting each of combined as well as individually into csv but still not able to do temporal controller
