Soil Moisture

Project Overview 

Surface soil moisture (~5 cm) was taken with the Hydra-probe Data Acquisition System (HDAS). The purposes of the HDAS measurements are investigating the spatial distribution of soil moisture and correcting the soil moisture measured by the station to the level of that in the footprint.
