abstract = {Cosmic-ray neutron sensing (CRNS) has become an effective
method to measure soil moisture at a horizontal scale of
hundreds of metres and a depth of decimetres. Recent studies
proposed operating CRNS in a network with overlapping
footprints in order to cover root-zone water dynamics at the
small catchment scale and, at the same time, to represent
spatial heterogeneity. In a joint field campaign from
September to November 2020 (JFC-2020), five German research
institutions deployed 15 CRNS sensors in the 0.4 km2
Wüstebach catchment (Eifel mountains, Germany). The
catchment is dominantly forested (but includes a substantial
fraction of open vegetation) and features a topographically
distinct catchment boundary. In addition to the dense CRNS
coverage, the campaign featured a unique combination of
additional instruments and techniques: hydro-gravimetry (to
detect water storage dynamics also below the root zone);
ground-based and, for the first time, airborne CRNS roving;
an extensive wireless soil sensor network, supplemented by
manual measurements; and six weighable lysimeters. Together
with comprehensive data from the long-term local research
infrastructure, the published data set (available at
https://doi.org/10.23728/b2share.756ca0485800474e9dc7f5949c63b872;
Heistermann et al., 2022) will be a valuable asset in
various research contexts: to advance the retrieval of
landscape water storage from CRNS, wireless soil sensor
networks, or hydrogravimetry; to identify scale-specific
combinations of sensors and methods to represent soil
moisture variability; to improve the understanding and
simulation of land–atmosphere exchange as well as
hydrological and hydrogeological processes at the hillslope
and the catchment scale; and to support the retrieval of
soil water content from airborne and spaceborne remote
sensing platforms.},
