Field-scale rainfall-runoff experiments data

This repository holds the data required to reproduce results in “Estimation of field-scale variability in soil saturated hydraulic conductivity from rainfall-runoff experiments” by Goyal et al. (2019). The data includes the experimental observations from 16 rainfall events near the University of Perugia, Italy, in the autumn/winter conditions of 2013/2014. Each text file includes:

Event date

Rainfall observations at 30-minute intervals

Runoff observations at 30-minute intervals

The average value of the initial moisture content in the study plot

The soil-water potential at the wetting front

Additional details about the experiments are provided in Flammini et al. (2018).

Use of this data should be acknowledged appropriately.
