Cosmic Ray Neutron Sensing: Estimation of Agricultural Crop Biomass Water Equivalent

This book is published open access under a CC BY 3.0 IGO license. This open access book provides methods for the estimation of Biomass Water Equivalent (BEW), an essential step for improving the accuracy of area-wide soil moisture by cosmic-ray neutron sensors (CRNS). Three techniques are explained...
