SSHCZO -- Hydropedologic Properties -- Imaginary Dielectric Constant -- Shale Hills -- (2010-2011)

OVERVIEW

Description/Abstract

The Real-Time Soil Moisture Monitoring Network provides integrated observation of water, energy and temperature in the soils of the Shale Hills Susquehanna Critical Zone Observatory watershed. Dielectric Constant is measured at 4 depths at 2 sites. Imaginary Dielectric Constant is measured with Hydra Probes manufactured by Stevens Instruments.
