Soil Water Content (m3 m-3) from Australia, June 2011 - December 2016

The 2015–2016 El Niño event ranks as one of the most severe on record in terms of the magnitude and extent of sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies generated in the tropical Pacific Ocean. This data was used to investigate changes in soil moisture to better understand how it is impacted by climate anomalies during an El Niño event. This dataset contains soil water content hourly data processed to monthly from June 2011 to December 2014 in a single CSV file. Data was collected from Cosmic Neutron Probes at variable depth averaging 38 cm that was interpolated to near-surface (0-10 cm). Site located at latitude -14.16 deg N, longitude 131.39 deg E. Data was downloaded from the The COsmic-ray Soil Moisture Observing System (COSMOS) soil moisture data network and is publicly available at http://cosmos.hwr.arizona.edu/. Data from this site is referenced as Australia (2) in Table 1 and Figure 4 of Solander et al.: The pantropical response of soil moisture to El Niño, Hydrol. Earth Syst. Sci., 24, 2303–2322, https://doi.org/10.5194/hess-24-2303-2020, 2020. This dataset was originally published on the NGEE Tropics Archive and is being mirrored on ESS-DIVE for long-term archival2015–2016年厄尔尼诺事件是有记录以来最为严重的事件之一，其在热带太平洋生成的海表温度（sea surface temperature, SST）异常的强度与覆盖范围均位居前列。本数据集用于探究土壤湿度的变化，以更深入地理解厄尔尼诺事件期间气候异常对土壤湿度的影响。本数据集包含2011年6月至2014年12月的土壤含水量逐小时数据（已处理为月均数据），存储于单个CSV文件中。数据由宇宙中子探针（Cosmic Neutron Probes）采集，探针的平均布设深度为38厘米，采集得到的数据被插值至近地表层（0–10厘米）。观测站点位于南纬14.16度，东经131.39度。数据下载自宇宙射线土壤湿度观测系统（COsmic-ray Soil Moisture Observing System, COSMOS）土壤湿度观测网络，可公开获取于http://cosmos.hwr.arizona.edu/。该站点的数据在Solander等人2020年发表于《水文学与地球系统科学》（Hydrol. Earth Syst. Sci.）的论文《土壤湿度对厄尔尼诺的泛热带响应》（The pantropical response of soil moisture to El Niño）的表1与图4中被标注为"澳大利亚（2）"，该论文刊载于第24卷，页码范围2303–2322，DOI为https://doi.org/10.5194/hess-24-2303-2020。本数据集最初发布于NGEE热带地区档案馆（NGEE Tropics Archive），现由ESS-DIVE镜像以进行长期归档保存。
