Looks great! I really like the UI to make it clear what can be had from the API - it really facilitates the on-boarding process. Have got a couple of questions if you don't mind? :

• What is the source of the soil moisture data?

• Also can you describe which ET model is being applied and which of its parameter values have to be assumed?

View on HN

• Soil moisture data is based on DWD ICON models with up to 2 km resolution in central Europe.

• ET is based on latent heat flux. This is not the potential evapotranspiration or ET0 reference evapotranspiration. I did not dive deep into the actual radiative transfer model for latent heat flux, but you can find it in the DWD ICON description.
