GNSS-T VOD data set for combined analysis of rainfall interception, dew, and plant water dyanmics at a temperature needleleaf forest

This data repository contains the compiled data sets used in preprint Schellenberg et al. (2026) – EGUSPHERE-2026-1751, Submitted to Copernicus Biogeosciences on 2026-03-28. Upon acceptance of the manuscript, this data base will be unlocked from an embargo. The data encompasses two sets of 30min, growing-season meteorological data, model results and GNSS-T VOD data. Preprocessed GNSS-T VOD data Meteorological and energy data: Soil moisture, precipitaiton, VPD, wind speed, latent heat flux Canwat (https://github.com/Ron-Q/CanWat) model results averaged over the spatial domain (see below the difference between the two data sets): Rainfall interception, dripping, evaporation, transpiration Sapflow-deduced plant water uptake and transpiration (water balance closed) Baseline-indexed variables (for rain events, and per day) There are two data sets: A) Canwat output in column/cylinder form (x-y constant over z) `Meteo-GNSS-Canwat_20260215_0955_postprocessed.csv` B) Canwat output in GNSS footprint as inverted cone with cutoff elevation angle 30°. `Meteo-GNSS-Canwat_20260215_0955_postprocessed_masked.csv` The appended variable_description.csv contains the metadata.
