Webinar—Soil moisture: Why installation is everything & how to get it right

Discover METER sensors: https://www.metergroup.com/en/meter-e... Learn more: https://www.metergroup.com/meter_know... If you want accurate data, correct sensor installation should be your top priority. Poor installation can potentially cause accuracy loss of greater than 10%. Every researcher’s goal is to obtain usable field data for the entire duration of a study. A good data set is one a scientist can use to draw conclusions or learn something about the behavior of environmental factors in a particular application. However, as many researchers have painfully discovered, getting good data is not as simple as installing sensors, leaving them in the field, and returning to find an accurate record. Those who don’t plan ahead, check the data often, and troubleshoot regularly often come back to find unpleasant surprises such as unplugged data logger cables, sensor cables damaged by rodents, or worse: that they don’t have enough data to interpret their results. Fortunately, most data collection mishaps are avoidable with quality equipment, some careful forethought, and a small amount of preparation. Join Chris Chambers as he discusses: What good soil moisture data look like How various installation issues show up in your data (i.e, air gaps, a loose sensor, soil type change, depths crossing) How to ensure an accurate installation How the new TEROS Borehole Installation Tool reduces air gaps and site disturbance while improving consistency What other scientists are doing to ensure a correct installation Presenter: Chris Chambers operates as the Environment Sales & Support Manager at METER Group, the world leader in soil moisture measurement. He specializes in ecology and plant physiology and has over 10 years of experience helping researchers measure the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum.
