BOREAS HYD-60 Ground Gravimetric Soil Moisture Data

Summary:

This data set contains percent soil moisture ground measurements. These data were collected on the ground along the various flight lines flown in the Southern and Northern Study Areas (SSA and NSA) during 1994 by the gamma ray instrument. This data set contains information on the locations of field in-site measurements of soil moisture, depth of moss/humus layer, and water content of the moss/humus layer and contains information on soil conditions and vegetative cover around the sites.

A guide document which includes more information about this data set can be found at http://daac.ornl.gov/boreas/HYD/h06grsmd/comp/HYD06_GRNDSM.txt.

ORNL DAAC maintains information on the entire BOREAS Project.
