This will be the eighth consecutive year for the workshop, which is an initiative of the community of researchers that has developed from the Marena, Oklahoma, In Situ Sensor Testbed (MOISST). This year’s workshop will be hosted by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and will include a special session on the National Drought Mitigation Center (NDMC) and the National Soil Moisture Network (NSMN), an ongoing initiative to develop a national system that integrates diverse sources of soil moisture observations including federal and state in-situ monitoring networks, satellite remote sensing missions, and numerical models.

Why Nebraska?

Why soil moisture?

Why soil moisture? 1. Soil moisture history and status is a great indicator of drought severity and duration

Why soil moisture? 1. Soil moisture history and status is a great indicator of drought severity and duration 2. Assimilation of soil moisture into models can further increase skill of weather forecasts

Why soil moisture? 1. Soil moisture history and status is a great indicator of drought severity and duration 2. Assimilation of soil moisture into models can further increase skill of weather forecasts 3. Society really cares about fluxes of water (runoff, evapotranspiration, irrigation requirement, recharge) but soil moisture/tension is key state variable to understand flux

If soil moisture is so great why don’t all farmers use it schedule irrigation?
