Top soil texture forcing data for the area of Germany for the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model based on the Bodenubersichtskarte (BUK) at a scale 1:1000000 (BUK1000) and provided by the University of Hohenheim (UHOH)

Data contain the dominating soil type in a grid cell for Germany in ~1km horizontal resolution. The data are based on the country wide soil map (Bodenubersichtskarte - BUK) at a scale of 1:1000000 (BUK1000) published in 2007 by Bundesanstalt für Geowissenschaften und Rohstoffe (BGR), Hannover, but reclassified according to the State Soil Geographic (STATSGO) classification table of the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model for NOAH and NOAH-MP Land Surface Models (LSMs).

Attribute description: soil_type-at_top_layer (16-categories)

Descriptor: A variable with the standard name of soil_type contains strings which indicate the character of the soil e.g. clay. These strings have not yet been standardised. Alternatively, the data variable may contain integers which can be translated to strings using flag_values and flag_meanings attributes.[CF-Standard Name-vertical_coordinate]; unit: not filled
