This data set includes soil moisture measurements from Inyo County during
the T-REX period.

The data are volumetric soil water content by depth for each access tube at
each monitoring site.  The data are in the file:
2006_soil_water_results_to_TREX.xls

The notation is our standard notation of wellfield, site number, tube number 
(e.g. LW1 1 is Laws wellfield, site 1, tube 1).  Several of the sites were 
only visited once during the study, hence the blanks in the spreadsheet.  The 
data were collected using a neutron probe and site specific calibrations. 

The station metadata are in the file:
access_tube_utm.xls

This includes the UTM coordinates for each tube, soil map unit and vegetation 
map units.  I just noticed that we don't have GPS data for 4 tubes at LW3.  
At the scale of any model for the valley, each site is basically a point.  Most 
tubes are only a few meters apart including those at LW3.  Also, the 
soil and vegetation maps are pretty coarse scale so don't infer this is 
site specific information.  Digital soil maps and data for the Owens 
Valley are available from the NRCS.  We have the LADWP 1984-87 
vegetation map if you are interested.  I didn't spend much time making 
the spreadsheets pretty, but I hope this helps.
