SoilVUE SoilMoisture

The SoilVUE sensor is connected to the InteractFen station. The station is placed in the fen (40 m.a.s.l.) close to the SoilFen (Meteorology, Soil Properties), EddyFen and Methane stations (Flux Monitoring). The SoilVUE sensor was installed in June 2021 and measures soil moisture, soil temperature (see SoilVUE SoilTemperature) and soil moisture (see SoilVUE ElectricalConductivity) in 100, 75, 60, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10 and 5 cm depth. Other data sets from the InteractFen station can be found under Meteorology (air temperature, relative humidity, radiation, wind, air pressure), Soil Properties (water fraction, ground water level, soil temperatures) and Snow Properties (snow temperatures, snow depht). All data is logged every 30 minutes (UTC-3 West Greenlandic Winter Time, CR1000X). Data comments: The top of the SoilVUE probe has been observed to be exposed in the autumns likely due to fluctuating soil surface in the fen combined with some upward movement of the sensor. In the end of the growing season the top of the SoilVUE probe has been observed exposed to air likely due to fluctuating soil surface in the fen combined with some upward movement of the sensor. Time periods with data from these sensor depths have been deleted. Data from sensors still in contact with soil is present in the dataset. However, corrections for the relative offset in depth has not been applied.
