Brief description

A soil pit was dug to 1.5 m depth in July 2007 and monitoring probes were installed at 0.1, 0.75 and 1.5 m depths in three columns. At each depth there were 3 time domain reflectometry probes (Campbell Scientific CS616) to measure volumetric water content, 3 gypsum blocks (Measurement Engineering Australia GBHeavy, except at 0.1 m depth were there were only 2) to measure water potential over the range -30 to -600 kPa. In addition one TCAV thermocouple probe to record soil temperature was located in the centre of the soil pit at 0.10m. In each column the time domain reflectometry and gypsum blocks were separated laterally by 20cm, each column was separated from the next by 100cm. At each depth the time domain reflectometry and gypsum blocks were separated laterally by 1 m.
