  • Oklahoma Mesonet Soil Moisture VAP Released to Production

    The figure shows volumetric water content for the Oklahoma Mesonet Butler station during 1998 at four subsurface levels. Soil moisture is a key parameter for understanding fluxes of moisture and energy between the land and atmosphere. Around the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility’s Southern Great Plains (SGP) atmospheric observatory, variations in soil moisture are…

    1998 Volumetric Water Content for the station BUTL in the Oklahoma Mesonet for comparison to the Illston 2008 paper. While the relative temporal behavior is replicated, the absolute volumetric water content with the new coefficients derived by the Oklahoma Mesonet (Scott 2013) is significantly lower than before. For example, it is 35% at the 5-cm…
