Description
This data set contains in-situ soil moisture profile and soil temperature data collected at 320-minute intervals at SoilSCAPE (Soil moisture Sensing Controller and oPtimal Estimator) project sites in the United States and New Zealand. SoilSCAPE used wireless sensor technology to acquire high temporal resolution soil moisture and temperature data at up to 812 sites over varying durations since December 2021. At its maximum, the network consisted of over 160 wireless sensor installations (nodes), with a range of 6 to 8 nodes per site.Each SoilSCAPE site contains multiple wireless end-devices (EDs). Each ED supports up to 4 soil moisture probes (METER Teros-12), typically installed at 5, 10, 20, and 30 cm below the surface.Soil conditions (e.g., hard soil or rocks) may have limited sensor placement. The data enables estimation of local-scale soil moisture at high temporal resolution and validation of remote sensing estimates of soil moisture at regional (airborne, e.g. NASA's Airborne Microwave Observation of Subcanopy and Subsurface Mission - AirMOSS) and national (spaceborne, e.g. NASA's Soil Moisture Active Passive - SMAP) scales.
