Alternate Identifier:	DOI PLACE HOLDER
Abstract:	This data package contains 30-minute soil volumetric water content (VWC) data collected at fifteen locations along 3 transects (5 locations per transect) in the Tromble Watershed area of the Jornada Basin in southern New Mexico, USA. At each location, soil sensors measure VWC at three depths, 5 15, and 30 cm, in units of cubic meters of water per cubic meter of soil. These measurements are used to help quantify the water balance across the small experimental watershed. Values have been used to investigate groundwater recharge, soil infiltration rates, and to evaluate the performance of hydrologic models. This is an ongoing dataset that will be updated annually.

Description:

General study design

The Tromble Watershed is a small experimental watershed located in the East Bajada geomorphic unit of the Jornada Basin in southern New Mexico, USA. We have instrumented this watershed, which consists of a mixed Chihuahuan Desert shrubland, and have on-going measurements and modeling studies of hydrological, meteorological and phenological processes. The instrument network consists of 20 soil moisture profiles around an eddy covariance tower and 15 soil moisture profiles arranged along hillslope transects. A network of rain gauges and channel runoff flumes is also deployed.

This data package contains soil volumetric water content (VWC) sensor data from fifteen locations in the Tromble Watershed. The fifteen locations are arranged in three transects (five soil sensor profiles per transect) and sensors collect VWC data at 5, 15, and 30 cm at each location.

Watershed averaged soil moisture was then calculated at each depth by the area-weighted average of slope soil moisture using the equation below:

θ_avg= (1448SM1+1121SM2+1232SM3+1348SM4+15911SM5+2850SM6+1086SM7+1312SM8+1278SM9+9193SM10+997SM11+535SM12+624SM13+865SM14+6891*SM15)/46691

Finally, profile averaged soil moisture was calculated by treating the measured 5cm soil moisture as average soil moisture over the top 10 cm of soil, measured 15 cm soil moisture was treated as the average soil moisture over the depth of 10-20 cm, and measured 30 cm soil moisture was treated as the average soil moisture over the depth of 20-40 cm.

θ_profile=(10θ_5cm+10θ_15cm+20*θ_30cm )/40
