SSHCZO -- Soil Moisture -- Shale Hills RTH Soil Moisture Data -- Shale Hills -- (2009-2012)

OVERVIEW

Description/Abstract

Quality assured soil moisture from three sets of nested (depths 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5 m) soil moisture probes (sensor: Decagon Echo2) at RTH2 network. Sensor were grouped 1-3 (lat:40.6653204 long:-77.9031097; ground elevation: 279.87 m),4-6 (lat:40.6653006 long:-77.9032492; ground elevation: 279.76 m), 7-9 (lat:40.6652192 long:-77.9031565; ground elevation: 277.15 m), with sensors 1,4 and 7 located at a depth 0.1 m and sensors 3,6 and 9 at a depth of 0.5 m. The Real-Time Hydrology Network provides integrated observation from bedrock to boundary layer of the Shale Hills Susquehanna Critical Zone Observatory watershed. 'Off-the-shelf” Internet Protocol (IP) compliant climate stations, eddy covariance flux stations, stream gauging, soil moisture profilers, and pressure transducers for monitoring groundwater levels comprise a series of real-time Internet-accessible sensor arrays that support research and educational efforts investigating interactions between the atmosphere, surface and subsurface terrestrial processes, and the riverine hydrologic system.
