Glossary of Hydrology

Description
An instrument with a fast-neutron source and a slow (thermal or epithermal) neutron detector which measures the moisture content of soil in terms of the detector count rate, after relating this count rate to the moisture content of the soil by calibration. It consists of a probe containing the source and detector and an electronic unit indicating the count rate.

English

Et instrument med et "hurtig-nøytron-kilde" og en langsom (termisk eller epitermisk) nøytronregistrator som måler fuktighetsinnholdet av jordsmonnet med detektorens tellehastighet. Denne tellehastigheten omgjøres til fuktighetsinnholdet i jordsmonnet ved kalibrering. Apparaturen består av en sonde som inneholder kilden og detektoren, og en elektronisk enhet som telleraten.
