Choptank Experimental Watershed Soil Moisture Network

A network of soil moisture and soil temperature profiles as well as solar radiation and precipitation gages are distributed throughout the central region of the DelMarVa peninsula to capture variability of these parameters to give a broad understanding of agricultural conditions in this domain. Soil profile data is captured at depths of 5, 10, 20, and 50 cm below the surface and recorded hourly at locations on the edges of agricultural fields, not inside the production fields.

由土壤湿度（soil moisture）、土壤温度剖面（soil temperature profile）以及太阳辐射（solar radiation）和降水测量仪（precipitation gage）组成的监测网络，分布于德尔马瓦半岛（DelMarVa peninsula）中部地区，旨在捕捉这些参数的变异性，从而全面了解该区域的农业状况。土壤剖面数据（soil profile data）在地表以下5、10、20和50 cm深度采集，每小时记录一次，采集地点位于农田边缘而非生产区内。
