Soil ice content measurement using a heat pulse probe method

Laboratory Evaluation of the Dual-Probe Heat-Pulse Method for Measuring Soil Water Content

to evaluate the level of accuracy and precision that can be achieved with the DPHP method. Tarara and Ham The dual-probe heat-pulse (DPHP) method provides a means of (1997) conducted a laboratory experiment in which estimating volumetric soil water content ( ) and change in volumetric water content ( ) from measurements of volumetric heat capacity. DPHP-based estimates were compared with values...

Open hardware portable dual-probe heat-pulse sensor for measuring soil thermal properties and water content

using an improved heat pulse probe design

[1] The heat pulse probe (HPP) technique has been successfully applied for estimating water flux density (WFD). Estimates of WFD have been limited to values greater than 10 cm d , except for two recent studies with lower detection limits of 2.4 and 5.6 cm d . Although satisfactory for saturated soils, it is recognized that current HPP capabilities are limited for applications in the vadose zone...

Inverse Method for Simultaneous Determination of Soil Water Flux Density and Thermal Properties with a Penta-Needle Heat Pulse Probe

Use of the Dual-Probe Heat-Pulse Technique to Monitor Soil Water Content in the Vadose Zone

et al. (1991), and has since been utilized by several researchers (Tarara and Ham, 1997; Ren et al., 1999; The dual-probe heat-pulse (DPHP) technique is emerging as a Song et al., 1999; Campbell et al., 2002). These studies useful technique for measuring soil volumetric water content ( ). have shown that the DPHP technique can provide accuHowever, few published data are available regarding the ...
