NEUTRON MEASUREMENT OF SURFACE SOIL MOISTURE
Journal Article
·
· J. Geophys. Research
A neutron probe design for the measurement of surface soil moisture is described. The probe consists of a single BF/sub 3/ tube, a Ra--Be source in a gamma shield and a plastic shield which serves also as a standard. Adequate accuracy and sensitivity are reported when surface soil is homogeneous. When surface soil is stratified the interpretation of measurements is uncertain. (auth)
