Soil Temperature, under sod (10 cm)
The average temperature at a depth of 10 cm below the ground during a
15-minute interval; the surface under which the measurement is taken
is vegetated.
- Thermistor probes sheathed in stainless steel are buried
horizontally in undisturbed ground. Because the cables connecting
the thermistors to the tower might conduct surface heat and
divert draining rainwater, they were buried deeper than the
thermistors, then angled upward.
- This soil temperature reading can be very important to
the vast acreage of rangeland across the state, as well as
for planting decisions under reduced or no-tillage systems,
for soil condition monitoring under a crop canopy, and for
industries such as turfgrass.
