abstract = {In a study to investigate water content distributions
inside a lysimeter in a noninvasive manner, we used ground
penetrating radar (GPR) tomography. Our main objective was
to evaluate the temporal changes and spatial distributions
of the volumetric water content after a short but intensive
irrigation of part of the lysimeter. High frequency GPR
antennas of 1-GHz nominal frequency were used because of the
small dimensions of the investigated lysimeter (cylinder of
1.5-m and 1.2-m diameter) and the desired spatial resolution
in the range of decimeters. To ensure a relatively steady
distribution of water inside the lysimeter for the
time-consuming tomographic survey, simple parallel
transmission measurements were used to track the water
dynamics. Water contents and water content changes were
calculated by means of a mixing formula describing the
relation between electromagnetic wave propagation velocity
and the water content. The transmission measurements
indicate a diffusive process following the irrigation for a
duration of several hours. The tomographic measurements
clearly show the area of increased water content associated
with the irrigation.},
