Soil volumetric water content data from fifteen locations, 3 depths at each location, within the Tromble Weir experimental watershed at the Jornada Basin LTER site, 2010-ongoing

This data package contains 30-minute soil volumetric water content
(VWC) data collected at fifteen locations along 3 transects (5
locations per transect) in the Tromble Weir Watershed area of the
Jornada Basin in southern New Mexico, USA. At each location, soil
sensors measure VWC at three depths, 5, 15 and 30 cm, in units of
cubic meters of water per cubic meter of soil. These measurements
are used to help quantify the water balance across the small
experimental watershed. Values have been used to investigate
groundwater recharge, soil infiltration rates, and to evaluate the
performance of hydrologic models. This is an ongoing dataset that
will be updated annually.
