HiWATER: Dataset of Soil freeze/thaw experiment observed in the midstream of the Heihe River Basin from Nov. 15 to Nov. 16, 2013- A Big Earth Data Platform for Three Poles

This data set includes the continuous observation data set of soil texture, roughness and surface temperature measured by the vehicle borne microwave radiometer on November 15-16, 2013 in the farmland of jiushe, Kangning, Zhangye City, Gansu Province. The surface temperature includes the soil temperature data observed by the temperature sensor at the soil depth of 0 cm, 1 cm, 3 cm, 5 cm and 10 cm. The time frequency of conventional observation of soil temperature is 5 minutes.

Data details:

1. Time: November 15-16, 2013

2. data:

Bright temperature: observed by vehicle mounted multi frequency passive microwave radiometer, including 6.925, 18.7 and 36.5ghz v-polarization and H-polarization data (10.65ghz band instrument damaged)

Soil temperature: use the sensor installed on dt85 to measure the soil temperature of 0cm, 1cm, 3cm, 5cm and 10cm

Soil texture: soil samples measured in Beijing Normal University

Soil roughness: measured by roughness meter provided by northeast geography

3. Data size: 4.8m

4. Data format:. Xls
