  • In-situ soil moisture measurements, Wasen i.E., steep slope, since 2019

    Volumetric soil water content (m3 m-3), soil water potential (mbar) and soil temperatures (oC) measured in two profiles and four depths each, and two additional soil temperature measurements (oC), air temperature (oC) and precipitation (mm). Time intervall: 1 hour. Measurement period: since April 2019. Location: steep hillslope, meadow For a detailed description of site, soil and vegetation: see attached document.

  • In-situ soil moisture measurements, Wasen i.E., flat location, since 2019

    Volumetric soil water content (m3 m-3), soil water potential (mbar) and soil temperatures (oC) measured in two profiles and four depths each, and two additional soil temperature measurements (oC), air temperature (oC) and precipitation (mm). Time intervall: 1 hour. Measurement period: since April 2019. Location: flat terrain, meadow For a detailed description of site, soil and vegetation: see attached document. Updates 2025: The “precipitation” column was set to not available (NA) for periods when the pluviometer was identified as clogged. These periods were assigned (i) based on regular maintenance of the measurement station and (ii) irregular behavior of the measurement series compared to the precipitation signal from the other nearby measurement stations. Column “VWC_0.7m_right” and “ST_5TE_0.7m_right” were set to not available (NA) for the period after the 2023-06-19T14:00:00Z due to irregular behavior of the ECH2O - 5TE sensor.
