OAR@ICRISATTowards estimating root‐zone soil moisture using surface multispectral and thermal sensing: A spectral and hydrometeorological dataset from the Dookie experiment site, Victoria, AustraliaV RAkurajuauthorDRyuauthorA WWesternauthorRIan YoungauthorThis paper describes surface hydrometeorological and spectral datasets collected from two tower sites located in the university of Melbourne's dookie experimental farm, Victoria, Australia. The datasets were collected from different vegetation types including wheat, canola and grazed pasture during the 2012, 2013 and 2014 cropping seasons. The dataset includes 30-min frequency latent and sensible heat flux measurements and layer-average soil moisture data at profile depths of 0-5,0-30,30-60,60-90 and 90-120 cm. Air temperature, wind speed, wind direction, relative humidity, precipitation and incoming and outgoing longwave and shortwave radiation data were also collected from two locations in the study area. The dataset described in this paper is available online.Soil Science2019-04WileyArticle
