Deliverables and Good Practice Guides

SoMMet produced eight public Deliverables (D1 to D8), including three Good Practice Guides.

For easier navigation, the Deliverables are grouped below by overarching topic.


Point-scale traceability

Deliverable D1 addresses metrological calibration and SI traceability for point-scale soil moisture measurements under laboratory conditions.

Full title of D1:
Report on the calibration of soil-moisture measurement devices using a primary method, based on evolved water vapour detection, and transfer standards, such as "standardised" loss on drying (LoD) or fibre-coupled spectrometers, to ensure SI-traceable point-scale soil moisture measurements with uncertainties of 5 % under laboratory conditions

CRNS traceability, modelling and calibration

Deliverable D2 focuses on the SI traceability and associated uncertainties of CRNS neutron response functions characterised in laboratory neutron fields.

Full title of D2:
Report on the traceability scheme and uncertainty model for validation of neutron response functions of CRNS neutron-measuring devices under laboratory conditions

DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18798838

Deliverable D3 reports on the benchmarking and validation of neutron-transport models for interpreting CRNS signals under outdoor conditions.

Full title of D3:
Report on the comparison and validation of existing neutron transport models used to interpret CRNS signals measured under outdoor conditions

DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18803623

Deliverable D4 presents a good-practice guide to the field calibration of CRNS instruments for soil moisture retrieval.

Full title of D4:
Good practice guide for calibration practices for CRNS soil moisture data retrieval in outdoor field conditions covering on lateral scales ranging from 102 m to 103 m and to depths of up to 1 metre

DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18804194
