Soil Moisture Applications and Practices Using the HydraProbe Soil Moisture Sensor

Research / , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Over the past ten years, environmental monitoring has become increasingly important. Environmental factors such as climate change, dwindling water resources, and threatened habitats are driving the need to monitor the environment and implement better policies to protect it. Many natural processes in the environment are driven by or in some ways related soil hydrological processes. […]

Calibration of a Capacitance Soil Sensor Required to Achieve the Level of Accuracy Required for Satellite Ground Truthing

Published studies / , , ,

This study published in American Meteorological Society’s BAMS journal demonstrates the extent of variability in readings one can expect with a soil moisture sensor based on capacitance technology. To obtain the highest level of accuracy that is required for remote sensing applications, capacitance-based soil sensors often need to be recalibrated. The HydraProbe is an impedance-based
