“Upscaling soil moisture from point scale to field scale: towards a general model” with Dr. Tyson Ochsner Field scale soil moisture measurements can be difficult to attain. Point scale data can be too small to give field scale advice, and data gathered from satellites often lack important specificity. In this episode, Tyson joins me to discuss a new method to upscale point data into field scale soil moisture estimates. Tune in to learn: ·         Why field-scale measurements are important for both grower and researcher needs, yet are difficult to obtain ·         What are the differences between fast, thermal, and epithermal neutrons ·         How measuring epithermal neutrons  can correlate with soil moisture ·           If you would like more information about this topic, this episode’s paper is available here: https://doi.org/10.1002/vzj2.20244 This paper is always freely available.
