Event-driven mobile cosmic-ray neutron rover Surveys of soil moisture within SwabianMOSES 2023

In addition to stationary measurements, mobile CRNS campaigns extended the utility of this method by mapping the spatial distribution of soil moisture and snowpack in the whole region. Mounted on vehicles, mobile neutron detectors can cover extensive terrains, sensing average water content at a distance of up to 100 m from the road and revealing its spatial variation due to factors like topography, vegetation, and land use (Schrön et al., 2018).
