abstract = {Full-waveform inverse modelling of proximal
ground-penetrating radar was used to measure Soil Surface
water content in irrigated areas of southern Tunisia. The
ground-penetrating radar system consisted of a hand held
vector network analyser combined with an off-ground
monostatic horn antenna, thereby setting up an ultra
wideband stepped-frequency continuous-wave radar. Inversion
of the radar Green's function was performed in the
time-domain, on a time window focused on the surface
reflection only. Results were compared with volumetric and
time-domain reflectometry measurements, as well as with an
improved version of the standard reflection coefficient
method. Except for water contents close to saturation, good
agreements were obtained between ground-penetrating radar,
time-domain reflectometry and volumetric samples.
Significant differences were observed when the soil electric
conductivity was high and Could not be neglected anymore in
the inversion process. Accounting for electric conductivity
provided better results. Remaining errors were attributed to
the different scales of characterization dealt with in
relation to the vertical variability of water content in the
top few centimetres of the soil. The proposed method appears
to be more practical and accurate than the standard
reflection coefficient method and shows great promise for
real-time mapping of surface soil moisture at the field
scale.},
