Cosmic Ray Neutron Sensing: Estimation of Agricultural Crop Biomass Water Equivalent

By Lee Heng, Ammar Wahbi, Gerd Dercon

Book Overview

This open access book provides methods for the estimation of Biomass Water Equivalent (BWE), an essential step for improving the accuracy of area-wide soil moisture monitoring by cosmic-ray neutron Sensors (CRNS)., an essential step for improving the accuracy of area-wide soil moisture monitoring by cosmic-ray neutron Sensors (CRNS). It provides detailed step-by-step practical instructions for three different methods of BWE estimation with clear illustrations\It provides in detail the use of the CRNS itself as a detector of BWE in an innovative approach.
