a VWC measured at the twelve sensor depths in the soil profile of the study field, and rainfall data from the co-located stand-alone automatic weather station WS8, collected for the period 1-Nov-2022 to 31-Oct-23. b Comparison of different methods of the four point-based measurements of rainfall available: Bureau of Meteorology official rain gauge ID 79028—BoM Gauge, SILO gridded rainfall data within a 5 km × 5 km tile—SILO, co-located stand-alone automatic weather station—WS8, and co-located stand-alone automatic tipping bucket rain gauge—8SE, with their respective cumulative rainfall bracketed. The QPE merged radar rainfall for the area corresponding to the 500× 500 m tile is also plotted for comparison
