Description

This dataset (WetHorizons_WTDmonthly_compiled_April26_revision.csv) contains mean monthly water table depth data for 286 of the 444 point locations, for which the data were originally captured at a higher temporal resolution and were additionally clipped to the temporal window (2015 onwards) of the available Earth Observations in the Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 archive. Links to higher resolution/longer time series of these source data, where these are already in the public domain, have been identified in the data submission in case future data users require more detailed water table datasets.

.Information on site co-ordinates, data period, condition class, and other details, are provided in the associated metadata file (WH_D1_4_metadata_v3_zenodo.csv). Further links to 165 additional water table dynamics data have been provided for future users, but were not summarised as monthly means in this data submission in case the source data are updated in future. Please refer to the README file for methodological details and important disclaimers.

This dataset contains additional data relative to previous versions 1 & 2.
