Field data used to support hydrologic modeling for the U.S. Geological Survey's San Francisco Bay Area "BALT1" landslide monitoring site

This Data Release includes information used to support numerical simulations of variably-saturated flow focused on measurement-based variability in soil-water retention properties for the U.S. Geological Survey's San Francisco Bay Area "BALT1" landslide monitoring site in the East Bay region of California, USA (see Thomas et al., 2018). The eight datasets are: (1) geologic and instrumentation logs recorded for BALT1 from May 2009 through March 2017, (2) collocated soil-moisture and soil-suction measurements collected at BALT1 from November 2010 through September 2016, (3) field-saturated hydraulic conductivity (infiltrometer) measurements collected at BALT1 in May 2017, (4) field-saturated hydraulic conductivity (permeameter) measurements collected at BALT1 in May 2017, (5), field-saturated hydraulic conductivity (permeameter) measurements collected throughout Alameda County in 2001, (6) positive pore-water pressure measurements telemetered from BALT1 from January 2017 through February 2017, (7) rainfall measurements telemetered from BALT1 from November 2016 through March 2017, and (8) positive pore-water pressure measurements telemetered from BALT1 from January 2017 through February 2017. Figure 1 in Thomas et al. (2018) shows the location of sensors for datasets (6), (7), and (8).
