Research in soil moisture remote sensing began in the mid 1970's shortly after the surge in satellite development. Quantitative measurements of soil moisture in the surface layer of soil have been most successful using passive remote sensing in the microwave region. The potential exists today to retrieve soil moisture estimates from space-based instruments at frequencies of about 6 ghz (c band).
Most gcms provide soil moisture diagnostics, but their land surface models often vary widely in terms of parameterizations and complexity (for example, soil layering and vegetation). There are few large-scale soil moisture measurements that can be easily compared to modeled soil moisture, and none for intervals longer than the satellite record.

To showcase hydropedologic study in different landscapes, this chapter is included to illustrate 1) similarities and differences in soil moisture spatial–temporal patterns and their underlying controls between two contrasting landscapes – a forestland and a cropland – in the ridge and valley physiographic region in eastern united states based on multiple years' monitoring datasets and 2) the frequency and controls of preferential flow occurrence and its links to soil types, landscape.

Studies on the relation of the non-available water of the soil to the hygroscopic coefficient.
In all studies of the effects of water deficits on plant functioning there is a need for of the soil moisture content as a fraction of either the total volume of pore space the soil water lost in transpiration as might be calculat.
First, the lack of a seasonal surface insolation variation in the equatorial zone implies that seasonal precipitation patterns (and resulting seasonal variations of soil moisture content) will be the dominant factor controlling seasonal and diurnal uhi magnitude variations.
The study suggested that a 95% probability of making a correct placement could occur by using three to five permeability classes. In 1963, the ncss national soil moisture committee proposed a class/subclass choice schema with five to seven classes (soil survey division, 1997). The proposal was provisionally accepted, pending the outcome of discussions comparing auger-hole percolation tests with the uhland core method and pending additional information on critical limits.

Non-destructive soil water content determination is a gaskin and miller [10,12] conducted initial research on the potential use of the the soil sampling volume consists of a cylindrical four-signal rod array.
• spatial variation of soil moisture increased with increasing soil wetness. • at locations with relatively high sand contents, soil moisture content tended to be more temporally stable. • a representative site can be identified to accurately estimate field mean moisture content.
Soil moisture content (smc) at the earth’s surface generally refers to the water content in the upper layer of the soil, expressed usually as either a dimensionless ratio of two masses or two volumes, or given as a ratio of a mass per unit volume.
The objective of this study is to develop a low-cost soil moisture sensor using capacitors on a film substrate and a capacitive touch integrated circuit.

Focusing on the installation of soil moisture sensors, demonstration set-ups were established at the southwest research-extension center plots in garden city,.
The spatiotemporal distribution of soil moisture is a key variable for hydrological and meteorological applications that influences the exchange of water and energy fluxes at the land surface/atmosphere interface. Accurate estimate of the spatiotemporal variations of soil moisture is critical for numerous large-scale environmental studies.
Volumetric water content is the volume of liquid water per volume of soil.
The neutron-probe data present a series of measurements of volumetric water content in the soil profile compiled using the neutron method. These data were collected from throughout the fife study area from may 1987 through august 1989. The neutron method of measuring soil water content uses the principle of neutron thermalization.

Borings come in two main varieties, large-diameter and small-diameter. Large-diameter borings are rarely used due to safety concerns and expense but are sometimes used to allow a geologist or an engineer to visually and manually examine the soil and rock stratigraphy in-situ.
Russell (ii, 1950) 1 reporting on work completed in 1843 and whitney (a, 1894), describe some of the first scientific investigations of soil moisture using gravimetric methods. The kirg tube, for collecting drive-core samples, was developed in 1890 and vus modified and improved by veihmeyer (a, 1929).
The journal reports on properties analysis, microbiology, chemicals and pollution, consequences for plants and crops, soil hydrology, and other considerations.
Soil water content is a measurement of the amount of water in a known amount of soil; it can be expressed as % water by weight or volume of soil, or inches of water per foot of soil. Soil water potential or soil moisture tension is a measurement of how tightly water clings to the soil and is expressed in units of pressure called bars (one bar is equal in strength to the pressure of one atmosphere).
The study focused on five irrigated and one rainfed plot of maize in south-west france, where the approach was tested using in situ measurements and surface soil moisture (ssm) maps derived from.

This study showed that spatial soil moisture patterns monitored by a wireless sensor network varied with depth, soil moisture content, seasonally, and within single wetting and drying episodes. This was controlled by multiple factors including soil properties, topography, meteorological forcing, vegetation, and groundwater.
