Fig. 16. Comparison between the default calibration proposed by the vendor (Sentek) and three different dielectric mixing models (Topp et al., 1980; Roth et al., 1990; Wang and Schmugge, 1980) with respect to: (a) the water content {theta}[{varepsilon}(N)] calculated using relation [29] for {varepsilon}(N) and (b) water content–permittivity relationships {varepsilon}({theta}).
