Interseasonal Hysteresis and Linearity among Surface Energy Fluxes and Soil Water Content in Observations, Reanalyses, and Model Simulations

Main data creator: Sungyoon Kim Co-creators: Megan Fowler: CESM simulations (CLM and CLM+CAM) Paul A. Dirmeyer: Overall supervision Site-level monthly datasets for surface net radiation (Rn), latent heat flux (LE), sensible heat flux (SH), ground heat flux (GH), and soil water content (SWC) from flux-tower observations (AmeriFlux BASE) and model-derived products (MERRA-2, ERA5, offline CLM, and coupled CLM+CAM) across CONUS. Model information:CESM v2.1.5 simulations include CLM5 (offline) and CLM5 coupled to CAM6 (CLM+CAM; AMIP configuration).
