Entry: Gamma-ray attenuation - showing version 1

stable

URI: http://codes.wmo.int/wmdr/ObservingMethodTerrestrial/347    

Determination of gamma-ray attenuation at given depth of soil using a source and a detector placed at a given distance at the same depth. If the apparent dry bulk density of the soil is known the signal can be converted into a measure of the volumetric soil-moisture content. [Based on 'Gamma-ray attenuation' in Guide to Hydrological Practices (WMO-No. 168), Volume I. 2008 edition, updated in 2020.]
