    Abstract
    Soil moisture NRT network USCRN (Climate Reference Network) in United States;the datasets of 114 stations were collected and processed by the National Oceanicand Atmospheric Administration"s National Climatic Data Center (NOAA"s NCDC)
    Variables measured air temperature
    precipitation
    soil moisture
    soil temperature
    surface temperature
    Depths of soil moisture measurements 0.05 - 0.05 m
    0.10 - 0.10 m
    0.20 - 0.20 m
    0.50 - 0.50 m
    1.00 - 1.00 m
    Soil Moisture sensors used Stevens Hydraprobe II Sdi-12
    Data availability from 2000-11-15 to 2025-07-11
