    Abstract
    In 2010 and 2011, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC), with the collaboration of Environment Canada, established three in situ monitoring networks near Kenaston (Saskatchewan), Carman (Manitoba) and Casselman (Ontario) as part of the Sustainable Agriculture Environmental Systems (SAGES) project titled Earth Observation Information on Crops and Soils for Agri-Environmental Monitoring in Canada.
    Variables measured air temperature
    precipitation
    soil moisture
    soil temperature
    Depths of soil moisture measurements 0.00 - 0.05 m
    0.05 - 0.05 m
    0.20 - 0.20 m
    0.50 - 0.50 m
    1.00 - 1.00 m
    1.50 - 1.50 m
    Soil Moisture sensors used Hydraprobe II Sdi-12
    Data availability from 2013-04-24 to 2020-03-25
