Directly measured water content vs. sensor output: (A) calibrations for the Diviner 2000 in relation to the scaled frequency compared with the calibration of Evett et al. (2006); (B) calibrations for the EnviroSCAN in relation to scaled frequency compared with both the calibration of Baumhardt et al. (2000) and the factory calibration. The regression for the 160- to 200-cm depth range nearly overlaps that for the combined data from the 90- and 100-cm depths.

Ranking of the mean relative difference of storage in 10 access tubes for eight measurement dates after irrigation of winter wheat began in 2003. Data are shown for gravimetric measurements, the neutron moisture meter (NMM), the Trime T3 probe, the EnviroSCAN and Diviner 2000 capacitance probes, and the Delta-T PR1/6 capacitance probe. The limit bars indicate the minimum and maximum values of the relative difference at each of the 10 access tube locations. Slope values are changes of water content (cm of water depth in 100 cm of soil) per meter of distance. These are not trends, but rather indicate a rate of spatial variability.
