Description

This data set consists of soil moisture and soil temperature measurements taken during the SnowEx 2021 field campaign. Soil moisture probes were deployed at 9 locations within the Montana Prairie Station study area and monitored soil properties at four different depths (5, 10, 20 and 50 cm).
