Data logging
Water content, suction power and temperature are continuously measured in 5 different soil levels and the data registered. In addition the gross- and net weight of the lysimeter and of the water flow are registered.
- Figure 1: Schematic diagram of a lysimeter at the GSF research station with complete equipment: 1) surrounding field, 2) closed chamber for gas measurements, 3) tensiometer, 4) soil monolith, 5) TDR-probe, 6) gas tube, 7) filter layer, 8) load cells for precision weighting, 9) teflon tube, 10) support, 11) evacuated gas vessel, 12) data-logger, 13) Linde Plastigas^® bags, 14) outflow, 15) seepage tank,16) precision load cell of the seepage tank, 17) weighting display
The possibilities of the data base are demonstrated for example with a testing period.
