Soil moisture is a crucial variable in research works of hydrology, meteorology and plant sciences. Adequate soil moisture is essential for plant growth; excesses and deficits of soil moisture must be considered in agricultural practices. There are already several remote sensing methods used for monitoring soil moisture, such as thermal inertia, vegetation water-supplying index, crop water stress index and multi-factor regression. In this paper, an improved method has been discussed which is based on the thermal inertia. We analyzed the problems of monitoring soil moisture using satellites at first, and then put forward an simplified method which directly uses land surface temperature differences to measure soil moisture. Also we have taken the influence of vegetation into account, and import NDVI into the model. The method was used in the study of soil moisture in Heilongjiang Province, China, and we draw the conclusion by the experiments that the model can evidently increase the precision of monitoring soil moisture.

Forest area covers 64 % of the national land of Korea and the forest plays a pivotal role in the hydrological process such as flood, drought, runoff, infiltration, evapotranspiration, etc. In this study, soil moisture monitoring for conifer forest in experimental forest of Seoul National University has been conducted using FDR (Frequency Domain Reflection) for 6 different soil layers, 10, 20, 30, 60, 90 and 120 cm during 2009~2010, and precipitation data was collected from nearby AWS (Automatic Weather Station). Soil moisture monitoring data were used to estimate soil moisture recession constant (SMRC) for analyzing soil moisture recession characteristics. From the results, empirical soil moisture recession equations were estimated and validated to determine the feasibility of the result, and soil moisture contents of measured and calculated showed a similar tendency from April to November. Thus, the results can be applied for soil moisture estimation and provided the basic knowledge in forest soil moisture consumption. Nevertheless, this approach demonstrated applicability limitations during winter and early spring season due to freezing and melting of snow and ice causing peculiar change of soil moisture contents.

High performance concrete (HPC) has been extensively used in thin overlay for repair purpose due to its excellent strength and durability. This paper presents an experiment, where the sensor-instrumented HPC overlays have been followed by dynamic strain and moisture content monitoring for 1 year, under normal traffic. The vibrating wire and soil moisture sensors were embedded in overlay before construction. Four given HPC mixes (2 original mixes and their shrinkage-modified mixes) were used for overlays to contrast the strain and moisture results. A calibration method to accurately measure the moisture content for a given concrete mixture using soil moisture sensor was established. The monitoring results indicated that the modified mixes performed much better than the original mixes in shrinkage cracking control. Weather condition and concrete maturity at early age greatly affected the strain in concrete. The strain in HPC overlay was primarily in longitudinal direction, leading to transverse cracks. Additionally, the most moisture loss in concrete occurred at early age. Its rate was very dependent on weather. After one year, cracking survey was carried out by vision to verify the strain direction and no cracks observed in shrinkage modified mixes.

In order to analyze movement of soil moisture, Time Domain Reflectometry(TDR) with multiplex system has been installed at the Bumreunsa hillslope of Sulmachun Watershed to configure spatial-temporal variation pattern considering seasonal characteristic. An intensive surveying was performed to build a refined digital elevation model(DEM) and flow determination algorithms with inverse surveying have been applied to establish an efficient soil moisture monitoring system. Soil moisture data were collected through an intensive and long term monitoring 380 hrs in November of 2003 and 1037 hrs in May and June of 2004. Soil moisture data shows corresponding variation characteristics of soil moisture on the up slope, buffer, main channel zones of the hillslope which were classified from terrain analysis. Inferences and limitations of measured soil moisture data were discussed in conjunction with flow characteristic through terrain analysis.

Purpose: To continuously monitor soil and climatic properties, a data acquisition system (DAQ) was developed and tested in plum farms (Gyewol-ri and Haechang-ri, Suncheon, Korea). Methods: The DAQ consisted of a Raspberry-Pi processor, a modem, and an ADC board with multiple sensors (soil moisture content (SEN0193), soil temperature (DS18B20), climatic temperature and humidity (DHT22), and rainfall gauge (TR-525M)). In the laboratory, various tests were conducted to calibrate SEN0193 at different soil moistures, soil temperatures, depths, and bulk densities. For performance comparison of the SEN0193 sensor, two commercial moisture sensors (SMS-BTA and WT-1000B) were tested in the field. The collected field data in Raspberry-Pi were transmitted and stored on a web server database through a commercial communications wireless network. Results: In laboratory tests, it was found that the SEN0193 sensor voltage reading increased significantly with an increase in soil bulk density. A linear calibration equation was developed between voltage and soil moisture content depending on the farm soil bulk density. In field tests, the SEN0193 sensor showed linearity (R = 0.76 and 0.73) between output voltage and moisture content; however, the other two sensors showed no linearity, indicating that site-specific calibration is important for accurate sensing. In the long-term monitoring results, it was observed that the measured climate temperature was almost the same as website information. Soil temperature information was higher than the values measured by DS18B20 during spring and summer. However, the local rainfall measured using TR 525M was significantly different from the values on the website. Conclusion: Based on the test results obtained using the developed monitoring system, it is thought that the measurement of various parameters using one device would be helpful in monitoring plum growth. Field data from the local farm monitoring system can be coupled with website information from the weather station and used more efficiently.

국내산지사면의 토양수분 시공간적 분포상황을 파악하기 위한 토양수분 측정법을 개발하였다. 대상유역을 정밀 측량하여 수치고도모형을 구성한 다음 흐름분배 알고리즘을 적용하였고 역측랑을 통한 대상 유역의 흐름분배 알고리즘의 유의성을 판단하였다. 이를 통한 공간적 변화의 대표성을 최대화하기 위한 장기 모니터링 시스템을 구축하였으며, 토양수분의 정확한 측정을 위해 TDR(Time Domain Reflectometry)을 이용하였다. 측정은 설마천 유역의 범륜사 우측사면에서 수행되었다. 강우사상에 의한 시공간적 토양수분의 변화 자료를 성공적으로 획득하였다. 획득된 토양수분자료는 측정시스템의 효용성과 사면유출의 과정에 대한 물리적인 과정을 나타낸다. 불연속적인 토양수분의 연직분포 양상은 사면 수문과정에서 선행흐름이나 대공극 흐름의 중요성을 의미한다.

Soil moisture plays a pivotal role in hydrological processes, especially in the forest which covers more than 64% of the national land. Soil moisture was monitored to analyze soil moisture change characteristics in terms of time and soil layers in this study. 2 Years soil moisture change data was obtained from the experimental nut pine forest and statistical analysis including auto-correlation and cross-corelation among soil moisture data from different soil layers was conducted. Using the monitored soil moisture data, a relationship between soil moisture change and precipitation was analyzed and seasonal soil moisture change characteristics were analyzed. From the result of inter-relationships among soil layers in terms of season and time lag, soil moisture change characteristics in the nut pine forest were upper soil layers were much sensitive than lowers, and seasonal variation if soil moisture for upper soil layers were bigger than lowers showing low correlation with precipitation in winter and spring due to freezing and snowfalls.

국내산지사면에서의 토양수분의 시공간적 분포를 파악하기 위하여 TDR(Time Domain Reflectometry)을 이용한 토양수분 장기 모니터링을 실시하였다. 대상사면을 측량하여 DEM(Digital Elevation Model)을 구축하고 흐름분배알고리즘에 적용하여 측정지점을 선정, 역 측량하여 효율적인 측정 체계를 구축하였다. DEM을 통하여 대상산지사면의 지형을 파악, 활용하여 정적 습윤지수(steady-state wetness index), 반동력학적 습윤지수(quasi-dynamic wetness index)를 구하였다. 장기 모니터링을 통한 토양수분 자료를 시공간적으로 분석하고 각각의 습윤 지수의 특징을 분석하고 습윤 지수와 토양수분 실측치와의 유의성과 제한점을 비교 분석하였다.

각 지점의 강우 발생에 따른 토양수분의 감쇄 현상을 특성화 할 수 있는 감쇄 곡선의 경험식을 도출하였다. 시간에 따른 토양수분의 감쇄 곡선은 거의 모든 지점에서 지표와 지하에 걸친 토양수분 측정 자료들과 높은 일치성을 나타내었다. 각 사면에서의 감쇄 특성 을 살펴보면 사면 상부에서 하부로 내려올수록 추정된 감쇄 곡선에 보다 더 수렴하는 경향을 보였다. 또한 각 지점별로 감쇄 곡선이 각 강우에 대하여 재현되는 경향을 보여 각 지점에서 포화와 감쇄가 각 지점의 고유한 특성을 가지고 있음을 나타내었다. 또한, 강우 발생에 대한 토양수분의 감쇄와 충전 등의 사면의 특성화에 기준이나 지표로서의 습윤지수의 유의성을 확인할 수 있었다. 궁극적으로 사면 유출의 명확한 기작을 규명하는데 있어서 보다 더 객관적인 검증을 위하여 계절별, 연별과 같은 추가적인 토양수분의 측정과 정밀도 있는 자료의 분석이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
