Input data set: Soil data (gswp3_hwsd)

Upscaled map of soil textures that is based on the HSWD 1.1 soil data, already used in ISIMIP2a.

Upscaled map of soil textures , already used in ISIMIP2a. It is based on HSWP 1.1 (Nachtergaele et al. 2009) and has been upscaled to the ISIMIP 0.5°×0.5° grid by means of the GSWP3 upscaling method A (Koirala 2013). The data sits in the file gswp3_hwsd.nc and the variable "soiltexture" is provided.
