The dataset contains the soil wetness monitoring data from the publication Wicki et al. (2022). It was collected in Wasen i.E. (Napf area, Switzerland).
The monitoring data is quality-controlled and aggregated to hourly values and it is provided for the study period 2019-04-05 to 2022-04-30.
The following information is contained (by column):
- Timestamp (UTC+1 time zone)
- Site: Slope (47.02486 N, 7.81960 E), Flat (47.02302 N, 7.81760 E)
- Sensor type
- Measure: VWC = volumetric water content [m3 m-3], MP = matric potential [hPa], TEMP = temperature [°C], PREC = precipitation [mm]
- Sensor number (per site each sensor is provided a unique identifier)
- Installation depth [m]
- Homogenization flag: If the data is considered homogeneous, it is given the flag 1, else the flag 0 is given
- Sensor value
- Normalized value: Normalization was conducted for VWC (saturation) and MP values
