STEMMUS-SCOPE for PLUMBER2: A Physically Consistent Dataset Across the Soil-Plant-Atmosphere Continuum

High-quality and long-term measurements of water, energy, and carbon fluxes between the land and atmosphere are critical for climate monitoring and land surface model (LSM) benchmarking. This dataset presents high-quality and long-term fluxes, and the corresponding above and below-ground hydrological, physiological, photosynthetic and radiative data derived from the STEMMUS-SCOPE model simulations for the PLUMBER2 project at 170 FLUXNET sites. The generated datasets by STEMMUS-SCOPE are in good agreement with quality in-situ measurements. Therefore, we recommend future applications of the datasets, for such as the detection and attribution of historical changes of fluxes and SM and associated extreme events, providing the initial and boundary conditions for atmospheric models, benchmarking various types of models, and monitoring drought risks. The published dataset can contribute to the development of earth system models in better representing land surface processes and land-atmosphere exchanges in forms of energy, water, and carbon.
