Soil water content (weight percentage of water) in percent for 33 kPa and 1500 kPa suctions predicted at 6 standard depths (0, 10, 30, 60, 100 and 200 cm) at 250 m resolution. Available Water Capacity (in mm) was derived by calculating Water Retention Difference (see p. 197 in the NRCS Soil Survey Laboratory Methods Manual), and then summing up WRD for all standard layers. Processing steps are described in detail here. Antartica is not included.
