Summary

This dataset provides daily estimates at locations that are part of the COSMOS-UK monitoring network for meteorological and potential evapotranspiration variables in the Climate hydrology and ecology research support system for the period 2013-2017 (CHESS-met and CHESS-PE). Additionally, for the same period, it provides estimates at COSMOS-UK sites locations for soil moisture simulations provided by JULES (Joint UK Land Environment Simulator) at four layers: top layer (0.0-0.1 m depth), second layer (0.1-0.35 m depth), third layer (0.35-1 m depth) and bottom layer (1-3 m depth). The following variables are available in the dataset: daily temperature range (K), specific humidity (kg kg-1), precipitation (kg m-2 s-1), air pressure (Pa), downward longwave radiation (W m-2), downward shortwave radiation (W m-2), wind speed (m s-1), potential evapotranspiration (mm day-1) and potential evapotranspiration with interception correction (mm day-1), soil moisture content of 1-top layer (m depth), soil moisture content of 2-second layer (m depth), soil moisture content of 3-third layer (m depth) and soil moisture content of 4-bottom layer (m depth).
