Abstract
Grid with estimated maximum available soil moisture in mm/m with a spatial resolution of 5 * 5 arc minutes. Information with regard to maximum available soil moisture was calculated from the "Derived Soil Properties" of the "Digital Soil Map of the World" which contains raster information on soil moisture in different classes.
Purpose
For the purpose of water balance model calculations, an average maximum available soil moisture storage capacity was computed and assigned to each class.
