Abstract

In this study, the performance of a new optimized scintillator-based cosmic-ray neutron detector called CRNSFINAPP for large-scale soil moisture estimation is presented and discussed. The assessment is based on the comparison to two commercial detectors commonly used for this application at two experimental sites and based on independent gravimetric soil moisture measurements collected at one addi...
