Evaluation of the Heat Pulse Ratio Method for Measuring Soil Water Flux
Soil water flux is an important hydrologic parameter, yet few techniques for measuring it in situ are available. Here we evaluate the heat pulse ratio method for measuring water flux. We conducted heat pulse measurements of flux in packed columns of sand, sandy loam, and silt loam soil.
