cops_nsm : contains data from Soil Moisture Network during COPS Campaign

Experiment
Summary
The soil moisture network comprises all stations where soil moisture and soil temperature were measured during COPS. The stations were operated by different groups and differ partly concerning sensor type, time interval of the measurements and number of sensors per station. However, the main network is comprised of 41 stations operated by IMK Karlsruhe (installed and operated with the same settings) and several stations which were operated in combination with energy balance/meteo stations within the energy balance network and at the supersites.
The different sets of soil moisture stations and the responsible groups are as follows:

at 5 COPS-Supersites
H: IMK Karlsruhe
M: IMK Karlsruhe
R: IMK Karlsruhe
S: University of Bonn
V: Meteo France

energy balance network
7 stations IMK Karlsruhe
4 stations University of Bayreuth
2 stations University of Freiburg

SOMONET Karlsruhe
42 stations IMK Karlsruhe

All stations operated by IMK Karlsruhe are equipped with SISOMOP sensors at 5 cm, 20 cm and 50 cm depth. Measurement interval is 10 minutes. The majority of these stations will be operated for at least 1 year after the COPS campaign. At all IMK Karlsruhe stations soil temperature is measured in addition to soil moisture at the same depths. These data will be combined in one data set - the additional data from the other groups mentioned above will be included in the data sets of the respective groups/networks.
