A Novel Cosmic-Ray Neutron Sensor for Soil Moisture Estimation over Large Areas
A correct soil moisture estimation is a fundamental prerequisite for many applications: agriculture, meteorological forecast, flood and drought prediction, and, in general, water accounting and management. Traditional methods typically provide point-like measurements, but suffer from soil heterogene...
