- Common Subsurface Sensors
Soil Moisture installed horizontally at 5cm, 10cm, 15cm, 25cm, 40cm, 55cm, 85cm, 100cm (usually at least two sensors per profile) Soil Surface Temperature, 0 or 0.5 cm below ground surface Soil Temperature (6 thermistors A) 2.5cm, 5cm, 10cm, 15cm, 20cm, 25cm Soil Temperature (6 thermistors B) 5cm, 15cm, 30cm, 50cm, 85cm, 100cm Soil Temperature (12 thermistor A) 2.5cm, 5cm, 10cm, 15cm, 20cm, 25cm, 35cm, 50cm, 75cm, 100cm, 125cm, 150cm Soil Temperature (12 thermistor B) 10cm, 25cm, 50cm, 75cm, 100cm, 125cm, 150cm, 200cm, 250cm, 300cm, 350cm, 400cm
Came across a WMO document. They suggest minimum standard soil temperature profile depths:
5cm, 10cm, 20cm, 50cm, and 100cm below ground surface and the surface should be similar for an area of 75cm^2 above the profile. WMO uses a bare ground standard which isn't really applicable but the rest of the information seems useful.
Handy Code Snippets
- Campbell Scientific Sample Code
- Excel Macros -- Handy Excel Macros useful for data processing
- Grep batch file (written for DOS)
