Soil Water Content (m3 m-3) from Australia, August 2001 - December 2014

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 August 2001 to December 2014 in a single CSV file. Data was collected from Eddy Covariance Flux Tower at near-surface (0-10 cm). Site located at latitude -12.49 deg N, longitude 131.15 deg E. Data was downloaded from the FluxNet soil moisture data network and is publicly available at https://fluxnet.org/data/download-data/. Data from this site is referenced as Australia (4) 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厄尔尼诺事件之一，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特征，以更清晰地理解厄尔尼诺事件期间气候异常对土壤湿度的影响机制。本数据集包含2001年8月至2014年12月的土壤含水量逐小时观测数据，经整编为月度数据后存储于单个CSV文件中。数据采集自近地表（0–10 cm）的涡度协方差通量塔（Eddy Covariance Flux Tower），观测站点的地理位置为南纬12.49°、东经131.15°。本数据集从通量网（FluxNet）土壤湿度数据网络下载获取，可公开访问于https://fluxnet.org/data/download-data/。该站点的数据在Solander及其合作者2020年发表于《Hydrol. Earth Syst. Sci.》第24卷第2303–2322页的论文《The pantropical response of soil moisture to El Niño》的表1与图4中被标注为“澳大利亚（4）”，该论文的DOI为https://doi.org/10.5194/hess-24-2303-2020。本数据集最初发布于NGEE Tropics Archive，现由ESS-DIVE镜像存储以实现长期归档保存。
