Abstract
This data collection accompanies the study "Quantifying the Rapid Propagation of Rainfall and Evapotranspiration Signals into Soils" by Gao et al. (see related publication). It contains volumetric soil moisture data from the SwissSMEX station Chamau (CHM), as well as data on precipitation, latent heat flux, air temperature, and volumetric soil moisture (SwissSMEX profile) from the Rietholzbach research station.
Compulsory reference when using SwissSMEX data:

Note that the timestamp (in CET) for SwissSMEX is at the start of the hourly averaging period, while for the Rietholzbach data it is at the end of the averaging period.
