Towards a general equation for frequency domain reflectometers
26 It is well documented that capacitance-based soil moisture sensor measurements are particularly influ27 enced by particle size distribution, density, salinity, and temperature of a soil, in addition to its moisture 28 content. Moreover, the equations provided by manufacturers of soil moisture sensors are often only 29 applicable to a limited number of soil types, thus yielding significant er...
متن کاملDistributed phase birefringence measurements based on polarization correlation in phase-sensitive optical time-domain reflectometers.
In this paper a technique to measure the distributed birefringence profile along optical fibers is proposed and experimentally validated. The method is based on the spectral correlation between two sets of orthogonally-polarized measurements acquired using a phase-sensitive optical time-domain reflectometer (ϕOTDR). The correlation between the two measured spectra gives a resonance (correlation...
متن کاملHeterogeneity of Infiltration Rates in Alluvial Floodplains as Measured with a Berm Infiltration Technique
Hydrologic heterogeneities (e.g., macropores and gravel outcrops) in floodplains are hypothesized to play an integral role in impacting flow and leaching between the soil surface and shallow alluvial aquifers, which are intricately connected to streams. Infiltration is often assumed to be uniform, but this neglects the spatial variability common in anisotropic, heterogeneous alluvial floodplain...
متن کاملCHANDLER ET AL.: FIELD CALIBRATION OF WATER CONTENT REFLECTOMETERS Field Calibration of Water Content Reflectometers
Field monitoring of volumetric soil water content (VWC) is critical for a variety of applications. Recently developed electronic soil water sensors provide a relatively inexpensive monitoring option. However, the calibration of these sensors is more sensitive to variations in soil properties than for time domain reflectometry (TDR), which is generally regarded as the best electronic means of VW...
متن کاملInnovative tracer methods for infiltration monitoring
Two innovative tracer methods for the quantification of parasitic discharge in sewers have been proposed as routine applications within the scope of the European research project APUSS (Assessing Infiltration and Exfiltration on the Performance of Urban Sewer Systems). In order to improve the accuracy of wastewater hydrograph separation compared to conventional practice, the novel approaches ar...
