Soil Moisture#

soil_moisture loads soil-moisture fields or time series.

Accepted sources#

  • custom

  • sim2

[[data.soil_moisture.sources]]
source = "sim2"
extent = "watershed"

Check period coverage, unit convention, and whether the data are used as a diagnostic or preprocessing input.

Soil Moisture Source: custom#

Use source = "custom" for local soil-moisture fields or station series.

[[data.soil_moisture.sources]]
source = "custom"
path = "data/soil_moisture/soil_moisture.nc"

Check whether values are fractions, percentages, or volumetric water content before using them.

Soil Moisture Source: sim2#

Use source = "sim2" to retrieve SIM2 soil-moisture fields.

[[data.soil_moisture.sources]]
source = "sim2"
extent = "watershed"

Use the climatic summary as the first visible check.
