Daily precipitation and hourly volumetric water content (VWC) at 0.5 m, 1.0 m and 1.5 m soil depth. Four experiments were done in two seasons with rainout shelters used to create terminal drought stress in each experiment individually. Rainout shelters were used to cover winter wheat from 20 May to 24 May, from 27 May to 28 May and from 12 June to 21 July in Exp. 1 (a), and to cover spring barley from 15 June to 2 August in Exp. 2 (b) in 2016. In 2017, rainout shelters were used to cover spring barley from 7 June to 2 August in Exp. 3 (c) and ryegrass from 15 June to 15 July in Exp. 4 (d) in 2017
