The Network Process Simulation of Soil-Moisture Infiltration Information System

This paper presents the techniques employed for solutions of the Network Process simulation of Soil-Moisture Infiltration for Soil-Moisture Infiltration Information System. A new approach that uses both enlightened and Random Selection approach is presented to unravel the issues. The usage of random functions comprising of first high value attribute variable and their corresponding combinations...

The International Soil Moisture Network - An observational network for soil moisture product validations

In situ soil moisture measurements are invaluable for calibrating and validating land surface models and satellite-based soil moisture retrievals. On a worldwide basis the number of meteorological networks measuring soil moisture is still limited and their data lack standardization of technique and protocol. In response to this, the International Soil Moisture Network (ISMN) was initiated to se...

Modeling effect of initial soil moisture on sorptivity and infiltration

Wireless Sensor Network Based Soil Moisture Monitoring System Design

Soil moisture is the amount of water in the soil. It plays a crucial role for efficient photosynthesis, respiration, transpiration and transportation of minerals and other nutrients through the plant. Proper irrigation schedule is very critical to plant growth. This paper presents a soil moisture monitoring system which comprises of commercially available soil moisture sensor Decagon EC-5, low ...

Simplified stochastic soil-moisture models: a look at infiltration

A simplified, vertically-averaged model of soil moisture interpreted at the daily time scale and forced by a stochastic process of instantaneous rainfall events is compared with a vertically-averaged model which uses a nonoverlapping rectangular pulse rainfall model and a more physically based description of infiltration. The models are compared with respect to the importance of short time-scal...
