Rapid measurement of soil water by gravimetric method

Soil Moisture Measurement in Heterogeneous Terrain

Reliable soil moisture measurement over large areas is much needed for both hydrologic modelling and remote sensing applications. For collecting such data, portable electronic sensors offer a practical alternative to gravimetric measurements. The conversion of the measured electrical output to soil moisture is nonetheless a non-trivial task as it depends on soil type and temperature. In this st...

Evaluation of the OhmMapper Instrument for Soil Moisture Measurement

of the spatial variability in soil moisture within the root zone. An instrument for making rapid measurements of the soil moisture Studies have shown that soil moisture content can content in the root zone is an essential tool for many applications, be inferred from measurements of the soil electrical including understanding of soil water dynamics, evaluation of agriculresistance (e.g., Seyfrie...

A Novel Bias Correction Method for Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) Soil Moisture: Retrieval Ensembles

Bias correction is a very important pre-processing step in satellite data assimilation analysis, as data assimilation itself cannot circumvent satellite biases. We introduce a retrieval algorithm-specific and spatially heterogeneous Instantaneous Field of View (IFOV) bias correction method for Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) soil moisture. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first...
