CORRECTION OF LIGHTNING EFFECTS ON WAVE CONTENT REFLECTOMETER SOIL MOISTURE DATA (2006)

Soil moisture monitoring systems involving correlations with soil dielectric content measured using WCR (water content reflectometer) probes are susceptible to lightning-induced errors during field monitoring programs. These errors must be understood and corrected to use moisture data in geoenvironmental or hydrological applications. This study evaluated the effect of lightning on WCR measurements observed during the monitoring of four evapotranspirative landfill test covers.
