The Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI) has operated an Eijkelkamp Smart Lysimeter at the Cabauw observational site since 2020. This instrument measures evapotranspiration and precipitation at the surface directly with a high temporal resolution based on changes in weight. This document describes the current post-processing and quality control which is applied to validated lysimeter datasets as well as the calculation of latent energy derived from these measurements.
