Data accompanying "Quantifying the Rapid Propagation of Rainfall and Evapotranspiration Signals into Soils"

This data collection accompanies the study "Quantifying the Rapid Propagation of Rainfall and Evapotranspiration Signals into Soils" by Gao et al. (see related publication). It contains volumetric soil moisture data from the SwissSMEX station Chamau (CHM), as well as data on precipitation, latent heat flux, air temperature, and volumetric soil moisture (SwissSMEX profile) from the Rietholzbach research station.
