Water content and electrical conductivity profile measurements for dispersive media using enhanced time domain and frequency domain models

Creator:

Flugstad, Benjamin A.

Abstract:

Water conservation and water quality are rapidly increasing in importance in all areas of the world. The ability to accurately measure soil water content and salinity, over a wide variety of conditions, is key to meeting this need. A set of forward prediction models and waveform interpretation algorithms to extract...

A predictive model for time domain reflectometry soil water content and salinity measurements

Creator:

Flugstad, Benjamin A.

Abstract:

Soil water content and water potential are two important parameters in determining the status of water in the soil. Improvement in the ability to measure these parameters by way of increased speed, accuracy, resolution, imaging volume, ease of automation, as well as reduced calibration requirements and reduced soil disturbance would...
