Global High-Resolution Soil-Water Balance at 30 Arc-Second Scale

A global hydrological raster dataset provides estimates of actual evapotranspiration and soil water deficit. The data has a spatial resolution of 30 arc seconds. It was created by Antonio Trabucco and is available via the paperswithcode platform.

Use Cases

• Modeling agricultural water stress based on soil water deficit data.
• Analyzing regional hydrological cycles based on actual evapotranspiration estimates.
• Validating land surface models using high-resolution global water balance components.

Strengths

• Global spatial coverage.
• High-resolution data at 30 arc seconds.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
