Description

Soil water content (volumetric) in percent for 33 kPa and 1500 kPa suctions predicted at 6 standard depths (0, 10, 30, 60, 100 and 200 cm) at 250 m resolution. Training points are based on a global compilation of soil profiles (USDA NCSS, AfSPDB, ISRIC WISE, EGRPR, SPADE, CanNPDB, UNSODA, SWIG, HYBRAS and HydroS). Data import steps are available here. Spatial prediction steps are described in detail here. Available water capacity in mm per layer is available here. Antartica is not included.

All files internally compressed using "COMPRESS=DEFLATE" creation option in GDAL. File naming convention:

  • sol = theme: soil,
  • watercontent.33kPa = water content (volumetric percent) under field capacity (33 kPa suction),
  • usda.4b1c = determination method: laboratory method code,
  • m = mean value,
  • 250m = spatial resolution / block support: 250 m,
  • b10..10cm = vertical reference: 10 cm depth below surface,
  • 1950..2017 = time reference: period 1950-2017,
  • v0.1 = version number: 0.1,
