Statement

Soil temperature (DTS): DTS continuously measuring every 30s and 0.25m spatial sampling over the entire 1,512m of buried fibre optic cable. VWC (A-DTS): A-DTS tests were performed by heating in sequence the cable at 0.40m for 930s, then the cable at 0.25m and finally at 0.10m. Applied power rate was 5W/m. Each A-DTS test was automatically repeated 4 times per day (starting at 02:00, 08:00, 14:00, 20:00). DTS temperatures during each of the heating cycles were time-integrated to produce cumulative temperature values at each 0.25m spatial sample along the fibre optic Cumulative temperatures were converted into VWC by means of a site specific empirical relationship carried out during the first A-DTS tests performed in 2015-2016. A detailed description of the installation, DTS data, and calibration of the system is contained in Ciocca et. al, 2018 (in preparation)
