The daily grids of soil moisture are calculated for 10 cm layers up to a depth of 2 meters for selected agricultural crops with the AMBAV 2.0 model. The meteorological input fields required for the calculation must be available in hourly resolution and derived from interpolated weather station data. Furthermore, the model is parameterized with soil information from the soil guide profiles of the Bodenübersichtskarte (BÜK 1000) of the Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources (Geowissenschaftenund Rohstoffe, BGR). The data have a spatial resolution of 1 x 1 km and cover the whole of Germany. Data outside of Germany are considered as missing values.
