Inputs of the Jupyter Notebook - Cosmos-UK soil moisture

The dataset contains the inputs of the notebook "Cosmos-UK soil moisture" published in The Environmental Data Science Book. The input data refer to a subset of the public 2013-2019 COSMOS-UK dataset, daily and subhourly observations and metadata for four stations: WYTH1, WADDN, SHEEP and CHIMN. These stations represent the first sites to prototype COSMOS sensors in the UK, see further details in Evans et al. (2016) and they are situated in human-intervened areas (grassland and cropland), except for one in a woodland land cover site. Data from COSMOS-UK up to the end of 2019 are available for download from the UKCEH Environmental Information Data Centre (EIDC). The data are accompanied by documentation that describes the site-specific instrumentation, data and processing including quality control. The full dataset is available for download under the terms of the Open Government License.
