Fig. 1 Diagram (not-to-scale) showing the relative position of soil temperature and water content sensors in each soil column. Thermocouples measured soil temperature 0.05, 0.1, and 0.3 m below the surface. Soil water content was measured in 0.1-m intervals beginning at the 0.05-m depth for time domain reflectometry (TDR) wave guides and 0.1-m depth for multisensor capacitance probe (MCAP) sensors with a lateral separation of 0.05 m to minimize potential interference
