What Indicative Information of a Subsurface Wetted Body Can Be Detected by a Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR)? A Laboratory Study and Numerical Simulation
Abstract:Nondestructive and noninvasive visualization and quantification of soil wetted bodies (SWBs) is of great significance to the development of water-saving agriculture. Unfortunately, measuring the parameters of SWBs is difficult due to the invisibility of SWBs buried underneath the ground and the non-variability of the soil moisture under partial irrigation conditions. Therefore, we performed a laboratory experiment to investigate what SWB attributes can be detected by a GPR. In the laboratory, three typical par… Show more

“…The authors of [5] use innovative data processing techniques to improve the assessment of water content in the soil. On the other hand, the authors of [6] show laboratory experiments and numerical simulations to show wet underground objects and surfaces produce a distinct signal within GPR data that allows for a better interpretation of the presence of water.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
