Fig. 2. Heat pulse and TDR soil moisture estimation in Ida silt loam with an actual water content of 0.36 m3 m–3 and Hanlon sand with an actual water content of 0.32 m3 m–3. Lines represent weighted linear regression. Symbols represent the mean of three replicates, and error bars represent one standard deviation.
