Abstract :
This study presents current GPR field methods for monitoring spatio-temporal soil water content variations at different representative sites in a highly dynamic regional watershed in Northwestern China. We detail the applicability of current GPR methods at characteristically different sites for assessing multi-scale structures in the respective soil water content fields, and compare the distinct, heterogeneous spatial patterns in soil water content.
