abstract = {We used time-lapse electrical resistivity tomography (ERT)
and time-domain reflectometry (TDR) probes to noninvasively
capture three-dimensional solute transport during four
tracer experiments under different steady-state irrigation
rates in a large unsaturated undisturbed soil column (140 cm
length and 116 cm inner diameter). The transport was
characterized by means of apparent convection-dispersion
parameters that were derived from breakthrough curves (BTCs)
at different lateral scales: the ERT voxel scale, the
sampling volume of TDR, and the cross-section of the column.
We validated the ERT-derived data by means of mass balance,
TDR probes, and the effluent BTC. We observed an excellent
mass recovery by ERT. The ERT-derived transport velocities
exhibited minimal bias and high precision at the scale of
the TDR measurements. On average the ERT-derived
column-scale transport velocities were also not biased;
however, the spatial variability of the voxel-scale
velocities within the column's cross-sections underestimated
the true velocity variability. In contrast to the transport
velocities, the ERT-derived dispersivities exhibited a large
bias and low precision and were sensitive to temporal
smoothing. Unlike previous studies, we did not find evidence
that the ERT-derived voxel-scale dispersivities increase
with decreasing ERT sensitivity. Although ERT provided
unprecedented information about transport processes,
resolution and uncertainty analyses remain important issues
requiring further investigation.},
