A Reactive Soil Moisture Sensor Network: Design and Field Evaluation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Wireless sensor network technology has the potential to reveal finegrained, dynamic changes in monitored variables of an outdoor landscape. But there are significant problems to be overcome in order to realise this vision in working systems. This paper describes the design and implementation of a reactive, event driven network for environmental monitoring of soil moisture and evaluates its effectiveness. A novel feature of our solution is its reactivity to the environment: when rain falls and soil moisture is changing rapidly, measurements are collected frequently, whereas during dry periods, between rainfall, measurements are collected less often. Field trials demonstrating the reactivity, robustness and longevity of the network are presented and evaluated, and future improvements proposed.

A data-based resampling experiment is performed to estimate sampling errors of area-averaged soil moisture estimates due to spatial sampling by ground-based sensors. The data consists of high-resolution soil moisture images derived from the Polarimetric Scanning Radiometer (PSR/CX) sensor flown on an aircraft as part of the summer field experiment (SMEX04 — Soil Moisture Experiment 2004) in the...

We have developed a new concept for a smart sensor web technology for measurements of soil moisture that include spaceborne and in-situ assets. The objective of the technology is to enable a guided/adaptive sampling strategy for the in-situ sensor network to meet the measurement validation objectives of the spaceborne sensors, with respect to resolution and accuracy. One potential application i...
متن کاملSpatio-temporal patterns of field-scale soil moisture and their implications for in situ soil moisture network design
This dissertation describes efforts to overcome the challenges in designing in situ soil moisture observation network. The surface soil moisture data collected at two spatial scales in a working field in Iowa throughout the growing seasons in 2004 to 2008 were used to describe the spatio-temporal characteristics of soil moisture at field scale. The rank stability analysis was used to identify t...
