Soil Hydraulic Properties and Noah-MP Simulation Dataset for a Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau Wet

A dataset of observations, laboratory measurements, and model inputs/outputs for an alpine wetland on the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau. It includes meteorological forcing data at 30-minute resolution for the full year 2023, soil hydraulic property measurements from HYPROP and WP4C experiments, and Noah-MP land surface model simulation outputs. The dataset was authored by Rong Liu and last updated in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Calibrating or validating the Noah-MP land surface model based on eddy covariance flux and soil moisture observations.
• Analyzing the sensitivity of simulated heat fluxes to soil hydraulic parameters based on the provided sensitivity experiment outputs.
• Studying the hydrothermal processes of an alpine wetland ecosystem based on the combined meteorological, soil property, and flux data.

Strengths

• Designed for full reproducibility of the associated study, including all model configuration and forcing data.
• Combines field observations (eddy covariance, meteorology), laboratory measurements (soil hydraulic properties), and model simulations in one package.
• Meteorological forcing data has a high temporal resolution of 30 minutes and covers a full calendar year (2023).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Geographic coverage is limited to a single alpine wetland site (Maqu) on the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau.
