This paper introduces and describes the hourly, high-resolution soil moisture dataset continuously recorded by the McMaster Mesonet located in the Hamilton-Halton Watershed in Southern Ontario, Canada. The McMaster Mesonet consists of a network of time domain reflectometer (TDR) probes collecting hourly soil moisture data at six depths between 10 cm and 100 cm at nine …
The NOAA Hydrometeorology Testbed (HMT) program has deployed soil moisture observing networks in the watersheds of the Russian River and the North Fork (NF) of the American River in northern California, and the San Pedro River in southeastern Arizona. These networks were designed to serve the combined needs of the hydrological, meteorological, agricultural, and climatological …
Soil moisture is a primary state variable of hydrology and the water cycle over land. In diverse Earth and environmental science disciplines, this state variable is either an initial condition or a boundary condition of relevant hydrologic models. Applications such as weather forecasting, skillful modeling and forecast of climate variability and change, agricultural productivity, water …
