Summary

This dataset contains model outputs of daily mean volumetric water content and topsoil temperature at 1 km resolution across the UK mainland for the years 1965-2018. The outputs are generated using neural network models trained on COSMOS-UK (cosmic-ray soil moisture) observational data. The data are presented in monthly NetCDF files on the British National Grid.
