Soil Moisture Network Operators Workshop
In July 2023, the American Association of State Climatologists (AASC) and the National Coordinated Soil Moisture Monitoring Network (NCSMMN) held a joint networking event in Davenport, Iowa: The Soil Moisture Network Operators Workshop and the AASC Mesonet Community Meeting.
Soil Moisture Network Operators Workshop
This workshop was held on July 25, 2023, just prior to the AASC Mesonet Community Meeting. This workshop was designed to provide a forum for peer-to-peer sharing for mesonet operators and others who are involved in—or are interested in learning about—the collection and generation of soil moisture data from in situ resources.
The workshop included a morning in-class discussion and an afternoon field trip to Muscatine Island Research and Demonstration Farm for more hands-on activities.
