Regional soil moisture monitoring network in the Raam catchment in the Netherlands - 2016-04 / 2017-04 (corrected)

Abstract

Note: The original dataset (https://data.4tu.nl/repository/uuid:dc364e97-d44a-403f-82a7-121902deeb56) contains errors. Some loggers were not correctly set to cope with daylight saving time differences. Therefore, some data are incorrectly shifted by an hour. This shift is corrected in this dataset. Original text: The Raam soil moisture measurement network dataset contains soil moisture and soil temperature measurements for 15 locations in the Raam, which is a 223-km2 river catchment in the southeast of the Netherlands. The network monitors soil moisture in the unsaturated zone for different soil textures and land covers present in the area, and it covers the topographic gradient of the region. At each location we installed Decagon 5TM sensors at depths of 5 cm, 10 cm, 20 cm, 40 cm and 80 cm. The logging time interval is set on 15 minutes. The Raam network is operational since April 2016 and the measurements are on-going
