MATLAB data and code used to assess different models describing how atmospheric pressure, soil heating and soil moisture dynamics influence the exchange of trace gases between the atmosphere and the soil

This data publication contains both observed and model data. The observed data, which include soil temperature, volumetric water content and pressure measurements, are a (2012) subset of a larger (2008-2014) soil/atmosphere experiment at Manitou Experimental Forest, Colorado. Soil temperature and water content are provided every 5 minutes and pressure provided at 1 hertz. The model data used, provided as MATLAB (*.mat) files, are included in this package as well as the MATLAB code and graphics subroutines for assessing different models of how atmospheric pressure, soil heating and moisture dynamics influence the exchange of trace gases between the atmosphere and the soil.
These data were collected to investigate the influence that variations in atmospheric pressure can have on the movement of trace gases between the soil and the atmosphere. This interaction is termed pressure pumping and these data were used to support investigating the performance of different models that describe pressure pumping in soils and snowpacks.
These data were published on 08/25/2022. Minor metadata updates, including updates to associated articles, were made on 01/06/2025. The data included in this package are a subset of the data provided in Frank and Massman (2020). For more information about these data and the model code, see Massman et al. (2022).
