Description:
Dataset underlying the research manuscript where we assessed several saturated hydraulic conductivity-depth profiles and extended soil column thickness in the distributed hydrological model (wflow_sbm) of the Vecht River Basin in Germany and Netherlands. Dataset includes (pre-processed) model input data and outputs.

saturated hydraulic conductivity, soil profile, soil parameters, wflow_sbm, catchment hydrology, hydrological model

Spatial coverage:
Vecht River Basin, Germany and Netherlands

Temporal coverage:
2007 - 2010

This dataset contains the following files:
1. data_catalog.yml
Meta-data of the external datasets used to set up the wflow_sbm model input for the Vecht River Basin
2. staticmaps.nc
Static inputs for the wflow_sbm model where the soil profile has a maximum thickness of 2 m. These are used for the "Profile 0" case.
3. staticmaps_soil5m.nc
Static inputs for the wflow_sbm model where the soil profile has a maximum thickness of 5 m. These are used for all soil profile cases except "Profile 0".
4. inmaps-eobs.nc
Dynamic inputs for the wflow_sbm model, including meteorological forcing and cyclic leaf area index.
5. wflow_sbm_soil2m_profile0.toml
Wflow_sbm model settings file for the simulation of "Profile 0".
6. wflow_sbm_soil5m_profile1.toml
Wflow_sbm model settings file for the simulation of "Profile 1".
7. wflow_sbm_soil5m_profile2.toml

9. wflow_sbm_soil5m_profile4.toml
Wflow_sbm model settings file for the simulation of "Profile 4".
10. wflow_sbm_soil5m_profile5.toml
Wflow_sbm model settings file for the simulation of "Profile 5".
11. output_profile0.nc

Methods, materials and software:
The wflow_sbm model inputs were set up using HydroMT-Wflow (https://deltares.github.io/hydromt_wflow/stable/index.html), a Python package for building ready-to-run wflow_sbm model files derived from global datasets. The model outputs were generated by running wflow_sbm (https://deltares.github.io/Wflow.jl/dev/).
