Soil moisture

1. Application

Do you measure moisture in soil? Our project consortium is looking into future requirements for soil moisture measurement traceability and would like your view. All respondents will have a chance to win a full set of NPL (National Physical Laboratory) mugs featuring the seven base usits of the SI (International System of Units).

Background

This work is part of a project funded by the European Commission through the European Metrology Research Programme (EMRP). The project is called MeteoMet2 (Metrology for Essential Climate Variables) and it includes work addressing soil moisture measurements.

The survey should take between 5-10 minutes to complete, we appreciate your time.
