VOLUMETRIX SOIL MOISTURE ARCHIVE
Please re-register to get access to the new version, or browse the CEDA archive to access older versions of ESA CCI SM. This means we have released a new version of ESA CCI SM since you received your FTP credentials. You have to re-register for each release. I have registered before, but now a new version of ESA CCI SM is available. If you still have problems contact us by e-mail at "CCI_SM_CONTACT (at) ". Make sure the server address (host), username, password, protocol and port is correct.

VOLUMETRIX SOIL MOISTURE SERIES
The choice of soil probe type and orientation of probe installment into the soil depend on the intended use of the resulting data.This page provides a series of FAQs. There is a variety of TDR probes available, which allows the measurement of soil water content to be “tailored” to the experimental objectives. The equation below was developed by Topp et al. It has been shown that the relationship between volumetric water content (θ) and dielectric water constant (Ka) is essentially independent of soil texture, porosity, and salt content. By determining the travel time (t) of the step pulse traveling in the transmission line or wave guide of length L, the apparent dielectric constant (Ka) can be calculated as: Ka = (ct/2L)2 TDR applied to soil water content determinations is cable radar in which a very fast rise-time voltage pulse is propagated down and reflected back from the end of a transmission line or wave guide (the probes) in the soil. The velocity of propagation in soil (v) can be calculated using the following equation: v = c / √K’Ĭ = 3 x 108 m s-1 (propagation velocity of electric signals and light in a vacuum) The TDR method measures the velocity of propagation of a high-frequency signal. Consequently, the dielectric constant of soil is a good parameter to use for calculating the water content of the soil. The dielectric constant of water is about 80, while most of the solid soil components have dielectric constants between 2 and 7, and that of air is equal to 1. The permittivity of the soil is strongly related to the water content due to the unique properties of the water molecule. The measurement takes only seconds, and the instrument can be attached to a data logger for ongoing measurements. The TDR probes are inserted directly into the soil for in situ measurement at the desired soil depth. Time domain reflectometry (TDR) is an indirect measure of soil water content based on the travel time of a high frequency electromagnetic pulse through the soil this travel time is used to calculate the permittivity (dielectric constant) of the material.
