Product details

Our large detector kit is best suited for agricultural installations for long-term monitoring of soil moisture. It provides the best time resolution, specifically for challenging environments or irrigation management. 

Equipment

Environment Sensors:

  • Air pressure (Resolution: 0.2 Pa, Precision: 1.7 hPa)
  • temperature (Resolution: 0.01 K, Precision: 1 K)
  • humidity (Resolution: 0.008%, Precision: 3%).

Below some exemplary configurations are shown:

The CRNS detector is usually mounted 1 to 2 meters above the ground surface, providing a significant exposure to far-field radiation from albedo neutrons which have further penetrated tens of decimeters through the soil. The neutron count rate is representative of the average root-zone water content in a footprint of up to 18 hectares and 20 cm to 70 cm in depth.
