Grid-to-Grid model estimates of soil moisture for Great Britain and Northern Ireland driven by observed data (1980 to 2011)

[This dataset is embargoed until November 1, 2023]. Gridded hydrological model soil moisture estimates on a 1km grid over Great Britain and Northern Ireland for the period Dec 1980 - Nov 2011 (units: m water/m soil). The data are provided in gridded netCDF files. There are separate files for Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

To aid interpretation, two additional spatial datasets are provided:

1km x 1km grids identifying majority lake cells for a) Great Britain and b) Northern Ireland.

The data were produced as part of UK-SCAPE (UK Status, Change And Projections of the Environment; https://ukscape.ceh.ac.uk/, Work Package 2: Case Study - Water) a NERC-funded National Capability Science Single Centre award.

Dataset Reference Date ()
2010-12-08
Statement
This dataset is a model output from the Grid-to-Grid hydrological model (Bell et al. 2009; https://doi.org10.1016/j.jhydrol.2009.08.031 ) driven by observed data. The meteorological variables used were daily precipitation (CEH-GEAR; https://doi.org/10.5285/33604ea0-c238-4488-813d-0ad9ab7c51ca), daily min and max temperature (Met Office; http://dx.doi.org/10.5285/2a62652a4fe6412693123dd6328f6dc8 ) and monthly 40km grids of PE for short grass (MORECS; https://doi.org/10.5194/hess-1-227-1997 ). See Supporting Information for more details.
