Soil Carbon Measurements Using Inelastic Neutron Scattering
Soil carbon sequestration is a whole new area of energy related research that provides a fundamentally new approach for dealing with climate change resulting from the substantial increase in CO2 concentration in the atmosphere. Carbon sequestration in soil is recognized to play a major role in allowing fossil fuels to remain a vital component of the national energy mix. At present soil carbon i...
متن کاملSoil Moisture Retrieval Using Data Cube Representation of Radar Scattering
A time-series algorithm is proposed to retrieve surface (from surface down to 1 m depth) soil moisture using the simulated radar data. The time-series approach uses co-polarized (V V and HH) backscattering coefficient (σ) values. Temporal averaging is applied to reduce the radar measurement noise. To the extent that the surface roughness does not change within the time-series window, the reduct...
متن کاملPreliminary Studies on Depth of Soil Moisture Extraction by Sugarcane Using the Neutron Probe
The design and operation of supplementary irrigation schemes are dependent upon an accurate estimation of the "total available moisture" in the soil. This has been defined as the amount of water held between the limits of field capacity and wilting point in the effective rooting depth of the crop. Under irrigated conditions the effective rooting depth is that depth of soil from which the crop c...
متن کاملThe Effect of Soil Texture in Soil Moisture Retrieval for Specular Scattering at C- Band
The objective of this paper is to analyze the behavior of specular scattering for different soil texture fields at various soil moisture (mv) and analyze the data to retrieve the soil moisture with minimizing the effect of the soil texture. To study the soil texture effect on specular scattering 10 different soil fields were prepared on the basis of change in soil constituents (i.e., percentage...
متن کاملHigh-Precision Determination of the Neutron Coherent Scattering Length
The neutron coherent scattering length b c has been determined interferometrically to an uncertainty of about 5 × 10(-5) by measuring the nondispersive phase. We propose improving the uncertainty to about 10(-6) by optimizing various parameters of the interferometric experiment. Any uncertainty in the b c determination arising from possible variations in the constitution of the ambient air can ...
