Replacing ground-based monitoring instruments
Design/actual life problem of ground-based monitoring instruments in the study area in the Mongolian plateau
Ongoing AWS and ASSH are nine and eight years old, as of this July, respectively. So, we started to replace little by little the old instruments from 2006. ↓
We will complete replacing all old instruments in the study area in the
Mongolian plateau by this September at latest.
Laboratory test of new instruments to replace (Hiroshima University in early spring, 2008)

▮ Well working of AWS and ASSH except AWS at DRS as of this April ▮ Better validation results using the new standard
product (Ver. 6.0) of AMSR-E soil moisture estimation in the Mongolian plateau ▮ Underestimation of AMSR-E observation under the
highly wetted soil condition in Sanzai site ▮ No actual probe error of new 2 rod type TDR probes
to replace ▮ New challengeable technology to monitor soil
moisture in the surface thin soil layer
