Choptank Experimental Watershed Soil Moisture Network

A network of soil moisture and soil temperature profiles as well as solar radiation and precipitation gages are distributed throughout the central region of the DelMarVa peninsula to capture variability of these parameters to give a broad understanding of agricultural conditions in this domain. Soil profile data is captured at depths of 5, 10, 20, and 50 cm below the surface and recorded hourly at locations on the edges of agricultural fields, not inside the production fields.Resources in this dataset:Resource Title: Choptank Station #1 File name: CT_01_2014-2020.csv Description: Soil Moisture dataResource Title: Choptank Station #2 File name: CT_02_2014-2020.csv Description: Choptank Watershed Station #2Resource Title: Choptank Station #3 File name: CT_03_2014-2020.csv Description: Soil Moisture DataResource Title: Choptank Station #4 File name: CT_04_2014-2020.csv Description: Soil Moisture DataResource Title: Choptank Station #5 File name: CT_05_2014-2020.csv Description: Soil Moisture DataResource Title: Choptank Station #6 File name: CT_06_2014-2020.csv Description: Soil Moisture DataResource Title: Choptank Station #7 File name: CT_07_2014-2020.csv Description: Soil Moisture DataResource Title: Choptank Station #8 File name: CT_08_2014-2020.csv Description: Soil Moisture DataResource Title: Choptank Station #9 File name: CT_09_2014-2020.csv Description: Soil Moisture DataResource Title: Choptank Station #10 File name: CT_10_2014-2020.csv Description: Soil Moisture DataResource Title: Choptank Station Locations File name: Station_Locations.csv Description: Latitude and Longitude of stations in WGS84Resource Title: Readme for Choptank Stations File name: Readme for Choptank Stations. docx
