Continuous measurements from 2001 until 25.04.2013 of soil water content at 15, 50, and 70 cm depth in Visp, using TDR probes. The data was collected by ENVIDAT to improve calibration and validation of water balance models. The dataset was last updated on the platform in 2019.
Use Cases
- Calibrating water balance models based on continuous soil moisture measurements.
- Validating hydrological leaching flux calculations based on the determined water flux.
- Analyzing long-term soil moisture trends at different depths based on the 12-year time series.
- Comparing soil water content replication data from the three measurement sites.
Strengths
- Continuous measurements spanning over 12 years from 2001 to 2013.
- Data collected at three distinct depths (15, 50, and 70 cm) with three replications.
- Specific purpose stated for calibrating or validating water balance models.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Last updated 2019-01-01 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
