The TEROS 54 measures the volumetric water content (VWC) and soil temperature at four
defined depths: 15 cm, 30 cm, 45 cm, and 60 cm. Each depth represents the center point of the
measuring sensors. At every measuring depth, the TEROS54 is equipped with four independent
VWC sensors for a 360° measurement (Figure19). Because the TEROS 54 is equipped with four
sensors per depth, it gives an accurrate representation of the soil at that depth.
