LIS Volumetric Water Content (VWC) Data herein was retrieved at a gridded resolution of 0.01° across a domain that begins at a lower left latitude and longitude of 37.20° and -83.60° and ends at an upper right latitude and longitude of 37.43° and -83.21°. This domain was developed such that it encompasses a majority of landslide occurrences related to the July 2022 extreme rainfall event studied. 

LIS data was estimated through assimilation of NOAH 3.6 Land Surface Model-based soil moisture estimates and SMAP L3SMP_E Satellite-Based Soil Moisture Observations.

Associated Maximum VWC LIS data herein was calculated by finding the maximum estimated VWC at each 0.01° grid point over the date range of 07/01/2022 to 08/31/2022. This range enabled the maximum VWC experienced over the July Landslide event to be determined and utilized in slope stability analyses. 

For example, in the file "July 1st to Aug 31st 2022 10 cm Max VWC Over All July Landslide Points.xlsx", the Max_VWC of 0.374501 m^3/m^3 represents the maximum water content estimated through LIS at 10 cm in depth at the point 37.205°, -83.595° over the associated date range.

Each respective grid point in the associated excel files represents LIS-based VWC estimated at a resolution of 0.01° (~1 km).
