abstract = {Evaporation is an important process in the global water
cycle and its variation affects the near surface soil water
content, which is crucial for surface hydrology and climate
modelling. Soil evaporation rate is often characterized by
two distinct phases, namely, the energy limited phase
(stage-I) and the soil hydraulic limited period (stage-II).
In this paper, a laboratory experiment was conducted using a
sand box filled with fine sand, which was subject to
evaporation for a period of twenty three days. The setup was
equipped with a weighting system to record automatically the
weight of the sand box with a constant time-step.
Furthermore, time-lapse air-launched ground penetrating
radar (GPR) measurements were performed to monitor the
evaporation process. The GPR model involves a full-waveform
frequency-domain solution of Maxwell’s equations for wave
propagation in three-dimensional multilayered media. The
accuracy of the full-waveform GPR forward modelling with
respect to three different petrophysical models was
investigated. Moreover, full-waveform inversion of the GPR
data was used to estimate the quantitative information, such
as near surface soil water content. The two stages of
evaporation can be clearly observed in the radargram, which
indicates qualitatively that enough information is contained
in the GPR data. The fullwaveform GPR inversion allows for
accurate estimation of the near surface soil water content
during extended evaporation phases, when a wide frequency
range of GPR (0.8–5.0 GHz) is taken into account. In
addition, the results indicate that the CRIM model may
constitute a relevant alternative in solving the
frequency-dependency issue for full waveform GPR modelling.},
