Soil Moisture
Excel File - the excel file includes both percent anomaly and absolute anomaly
Notes:

- The points represent 20 year centered averages

- error bars are based on the 25th and 75th percentile range of the model ensemble

- The minimum soil moisture value is near 400 for the 20th century climatology. Soassuming this represents soil deeper than evaporation or evapotraspiration penetrates, we remove this constant from the climatology to calculate soil moisture percentage change.
