6.2 Measurements
The HydroSense II presents two distinct data sets. One data set includes
volumetric water content expressed as percent (%) and period (
μs
). The second
data set includes an estimate of relative water content relative to pre-measured
wet and dry references, and water deficit. Water deficit provides an estimate of
applied water required (in mm) to return the soil to the “wet” water content. By
default, only water content data are displayed. Using the
(p. A-1)
, water deficit data can be enabled to display side-by-side with water
content data.
