Page 21: Water Content Data
HS2 and HS2P Water Content Data Volumetric water content (VWC) and period (PER) data are retrieved from the sensor. The HydroSense II sensor uses a proprietary technique to determine water content over widely varying soils while correcting for a range of bulk electrical conductivities. -
Page 22: Soil Types
HS2 and HS2P An RWC value greater than 100% indicates that the soil has a water content value greater than the “wet” reference; a negative value indicates that the water content is below the “dry” reference. Water required (in mm of applied water) to return the soil to the “wet” reference is also calculated and reported as water deficit. -

EC. The calibration coefficients to convert measured time of travel to dielectric constant and water content are contained within the sensor head and are the intellectual property of Campbell Scientific. 6.4.4.2 Rod Insertion For accurate, repeatable measurements, the rods of the sensor must be fully inserted into the soil. -

HS2 and HS2P otherwise occupied by the fine soil fraction, but they do not hold water in the same manner as soil. If two proximal measurements are made in rocky soil, the measured water content can differ significantly if large quantities of rock occupy part of the sensitive volume of one measurement but not the other. -
