SPLASH Field Study; NOAA PSL Soil Moisture and Surface Temperature Probe Data at Avery Picnic and Kettle Ponds, Colorado (NCEI Accession 0302136)
From fall 2021 through summer 2023, NOAA and research partners conducted a field study (SPLASH - the Study of Precipitation, the Lower Atmosphere and Surface for Hydrometeorology). This field study established a state-of-the-art observing network in the East River watershed of the Colorado mountains with a goal of advancing weather and water prediction capabilities in areas with complex terrain. The ultimate goal of this project is improved prediction of weather and water in the Colorado mountains and beyond to inform societal preparedness and response.
This dataset contains measurements from a hand-held FieldScout TDR Soil Moisture Meter within the 0-10 cm soil depth. The data were collected around the SPLASH campaign areas near Avery Picnic (38.972425 degrees N,106.996855 degrees W) and Kettle Ponds (38.942005 degrees N,106.973006 degrees W) in the East River Watershed in Colorado. The elements provided in this dataset are Time (UTC), GPS locations, Electrical Conductivity (EC), compensated percent volumetric water content (VWC), soil surface temperature (T), and rod length (inches). The data were collected between June 1st, 2022 and September 18th, 2023 under support from the NOAA Physical Sciences Laboratory and NOAA Weather Program Office.
