[HICAM] climate projection; monthly SMI 1971-2098 in depth 0-200cm, full ensemble (88 members) cdf 1971 -2020, mHM, DE domain

Back up of the monthly Soil Moisture Index (SMI) simulated with mHM (https://mhm-ufz.org/) based on soil water content (SWC) in depth 0-200 cm at 0.015625deg spatial resolution, monthly time step 1971 -2098, using spatially diasaggregated and bias-adjusted simulations from EURO-CORDEX (Jacob et al, 2014) and Reklies-DE climate (Bülow et al, 2019). Further information on the SMI is found in Samaniego et al (2013) and the code in Samaniego et al (2022). The cumulative distribution function (cdf) of soil moisture (SM) for the SMI was calculated on the period 1971 -2020.

The look up table containing for the simulations and rejections of simulations due to quality controls are found in the separate data entry here: doi.org/10.48758/ufz.15153
