abstract = {To investigate transient dynamics of soil water
redistribution during infiltration, we conducted horizontal
borehole and surface ground penetrating radar measurements
during a 4‐day infiltration experiment at the rhizontron
facility in Selhausen, Germany. Zero‐offset ground
penetrating radar profiling in horizontal boreholes was used
to obtain soil water content information at specific depths
(0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.2 m). However, horizontal borehole
ground penetrating radar measurements do not provide
accurate soil water content estimates of the top soil
(0–0.1 m depth) because of interference between direct and
critically refracted waves. Therefore, surface ground
penetrating radar data were additionally acquired to
estimate soil water content of the top soil. Due to the
generation of electromagnetic waveguides in the top soil
caused by infiltration, a strong dispersion in the ground
penetrating radar data was observed in 500 MHz surface
ground penetrating radar data. A dispersion inversion was
thus performed with these surface ground penetrating radar
data to obtain soil water content information for the top
0.1 m of the soil. By combining the complementary borehole
and surface ground penetrating radar data, vertical soil
water content profiles were obtained, which were used to
investigate vertical soil water redistribution. Reasonable
consistency was found between the ground penetrating radar
results and independent soil water content data derived from
time domain reflectometry measurements. Because of the
improved spatial representativeness of the ground
penetrating radar measurements, the soil water content
profiles obtained by ground penetrating radar better matched
the known water storage changes during the infiltration
experiment. It was concluded that the combined use of
borehole and surface ground penetrating radar data
convincingly revealed spatiotemporal soil water content
variation during infiltration. In addition, this setup
allowed a better quantification of water storage, which is a
prerequisite for future applications, where, for example,
the soil hydraulic properties will be estimated from ground
penetrating radar data.},
