Soil moisture is one of the key parameters in geophysical processes. There are different techniques available for the retrieval of this variable (i.e., hydrological models, in-situ observations, or remote sensing). Although the soil moisture values obtained from these different platforms have temporal and spatial consistency, they often have differences in their signal (i.e. variance) components and/or in their scales. Therefore, it is necessary to rescale these datasets to a reference dataset in order to avoid any added bias during preprocessing phase. There are different linear and non-linear rescaling methods developed for rescaling of time series. However the added utility nonlinear rescaling methods compared to linear methods remained not well explored. In this study accuracy of 12 different linear and non-linear methods in rescaling of soil moisture time series are evaluated over 4 USDA ARS watersheds using LPRM-, NOAH-, API-, and station-based datasets. Results showed that generally non-linear methods (especially artificial neural networks) result in improved accuracy than linear methods.

A Preliminary study on construction of a high capacity tensiometer and its use in measurement of matrik suction in unsaturated soils Köksalan, Ali Okan; Toker, Nabi Kartal; Department of Civil Engineering (2013) Soil suction is one of the main state parameters that governs unsaturated soil behaviour. Tensiometers are the only type of probe that can measure soil suction directly, but only up to 90 kPa. In the past two decades, a new type of tensiometer with much greater measurement range (up to 2 MPa) has appeared in the literature. The measurement range (i.e. capacity) of a tensiometer is limited by (i) how well it is saturated, and (ii) the air entry value of its porous interface. In this study, the first high cap...
The added utility of nonlinear methods compared to linear methods in rescaling soil moisture products Afshar, Mahdı Hesamı ; Yılmaz, Mustafa Tuğrul (2017-07-01) In this study, the added utility of nonlinear rescaling methods relative to linear methods in the framework of creating a homogenous soil moisture time series has been explored. The performances of 31 linear and nonlinear rescaling methods are evaluated by rescaling the Land Parameter Retrieval Model (LPRM) soil moisture datasets to station-basedwatershed average datasets obtained over four United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Agricultural Research Service (ARS) watersheds. The linear methods incl...
The significance of the episodic nature of atmosphericdeposition to Low Nutrient Low Chlorophyll regions Guieu, C.; Aumont, O.; Paytan, L.; Bopp, L.; Law, C.s; Mahowald, N.; Achterberg, E.p; Maran, E.; Salihoğlu, Barış; Crise, A.; Wagener, T.; Herut, B.; Desboeufs, K.; Kanakidou, K.; Olgun, N.; Peters, F.; Pulidovillena, E.; Tovarsanchez, A.; Völker, C. (null; 2014-10-15) In the vast Low Nutrient Low‐Chlorophyll (LNLC) Ocean, the vertical nutrient supply from the subsurface to the sunlit surface waters is low, and atmospheric contribution of nutrients may be one order of magnitude greater over short timescales. The short turnover time of atmospheric Fe and N supply (<1 month for nitrate) further supports deposition being an important source of nutrients in LNLC regions. Yet, the extent to which atmospheric inputs are impacting biological activity and modifying the carbon bal...
A laboratory study of anisotropy in engineering properties of Ankara clay İspir, Mustafa Erdem; Ergun, Mehmet Ufuk; Department of Civil Engineering (2011) Anisotropy in engineering properties of soils occurs due to the depositional process forming the soil fabric and/or different directional stresses in soil history. This study investigates the anisotropy in undrained shear strength and drained compressibility of preconsolidated, stiff and fissured Ankara Clay. The compressibility behavior is determined using standard oedometer testing while the shear strength anisotropy is investigated through large diameter unconsolidated-undrained triaxial testing on undis...
The use of genetic algorithms for determining the transport parameters of core experiments Gumrah, F; Durgut, I; Oz, B; Yeten, B (2000-01-01) From hydrocarbon reservoirs, brine is produced as a waste material, which may be injected into the ground or discharged at the surface. When the wastewater is injected into the ground, it may be mixed with fresh-water sources by several processes. Groundwater contamination from leakage, spills, or the injection of hazardous or toxic materials is widely regarded as one of the leading environmental problems. This study presents the use of genetic algorithms (GAs) as a viable means of estimating the transport ...
