Frequency, electrical conductivity and temperature analysis of a low-cost capacitance soil moisture sensor (2008, background): “Recent advances in dielectric and electrical conductivity measurements in soils using time domain reflectometry (TDR) was presented by Robinson et al. (2003).”
A Physically Derived Water Content/Permittivity Calibration Model for Coarse-Textured, Layered Soils (2005, background): “The quartz grains were man, 2000; Robinson et al., 2003b).”
Empirical two‐point α‐mixing model for calibrating the ECH2O EC‐5 soil moisture sensor in sands (2008, methodology): “Several relationships between Ka and q have been developed and found to have broad applicability [e.g., Topp and Ferré, 2002] and typical Ka – q relationships are summarized in the literature [e.g., Jacobsen and Schjønning, 1995; Topp and Ferré, 2002; Robinson et al., 2003].”
Effects of Maxwell‐Wagner polarization on soil complex dielectric permittivity under variable temperature and electrical conductivity (2006, background): “The shapes of TDR waveforms exhibit significant effect of EC through attenuation and rounding of reflected signal; however, reflection locations determined by tangent line analyses [Wraith and Or, 1999; Robinson et al., 2003] occurred at the same location on the waveform for all EC values.”
Geophysical Properties of the Near Surface Earth: Electrical Properties (2015, background): “…2003; Cyr et al., 2010); volcanic activity monitoring (e.g., Revil et al., 2010); the properties of lunar (e.g., Li et al., 2005), Martian (e.g., Carter et al., 2009), and asteroidal (e.g., Wittmann et al., 1999) materials; and soil science (e.g., Robinson et al., 2003; Peplinski et al., 1995).”
Estimation of Soil Moisture from Optical and Thermal Remote Sensing: A Review (2016, background): “Traditional SM observations mainly include single-point based or specific location measurements [55–59].”
Comparison of Petrophysical Relationships for Soil Moisture Estimation using GPR Ground Waves (2011, background): “Furthermore, probe size restrictions (i.e., on the order of a few decimeters) result in small measurement volumes (i.e., cubic centimeters), which makes them more susceptible to errors arising from macropores and air gaps that may occur during installation (Robinson et al., 2003).”
Soil properties influencing apparent electrical conductivity: a review (2005, methodology): “…incentive for the determination of soil solution EC from ECa measurements has arisen from the possibility of simultaneous measurements of ECa and soil volumetric water content (θ) by the time domain reflectometry (TDR) method (Topp et al., 1980; Dalton et al., 1984; Robinson et al., 2003).”
Frequency dependence of the complex permittivity and its impact on dielectric sensor calibration in soils (2005, background): “Such a medium is called a dis-vaara, 1994; Robinson et al., 2003).”
