Soil Temperature, under bare soil (10 cm)
The average temperature at a depth of 10 cm below the ground during a
15-minute interval; the surface under which the measurement is taken
is not vegetated.
- Thermistor probes sheathed in stainless steel are buried
horizontally in undisturbed ground. Because the cables connecting
the thermistors to the tower might conduct surface heat and
divert draining rainwater, they were buried deeper than the
thermistors, then angled upward.
- Bare soil temperatures are useful for planting decisions
under conventional tillage regimes (i.e., the vast majority
of Oklahoma farms) and can be used to monitor soil conditions
until a complete crop canopy develops.
