EM-based apparent conductivity measurements were linearly related to soil moisture measured with the Aqua-pro capacitance sensor below a threshold conductivity and represented the temporal patterns in soil moisture well.
The experimental results are validated using in situ soil moisture measured by a moisture meter.
Soil moisture measured 14% in Healdsburg, and total simulated Lake Mendocino watershed soil moisture was the lowest since 1900 at 2413 acre-feet.
This study quantitatively investigates the use of soil moisture measured at 10, 20, and 40 cm soil depths along with rainfall in predicting runoff.
Rainfall and runoff during 2006 were above average, and soil moisture was significantly higher through the channel bank soil profiles in proximity to loose rock and wire bound check dams than soil moisture measured at control sites.
The plant height, biomass, and leaf area index of potato crop and soil moisture measured at its various growth stages were used as the target variables during the training and validation of the network.
A geostatistical characterization of moisture (measured as permittivity) in the subbase beneath pervious concrete indicates that significant spatial correlation is either not present or only present at very short distances (<2.5 m).
We defined dry skin by an amount value of 60 AU or less for cheek moisture (measured by Corneometer CM 825 [Courage and Khazaka, Cologne, Germany]).
The level of concordance between the subjective and objective moisture ratings was low to moderate or trivial for all moisture measures (0.002 < d <0.264, p >0.05).
Although several studies have highlighted the relevance of soil moisture measures to improve flood modelling, the discussion is still open in the literature about the approach to use in lumped model.
