Description
The STAMP (Soil Temperature And Moisture Profile) system is replacing the SWATS system for the measurement of soil temperature and moisture profiles at all SGP (Southern Great Plains) Extended Facilities, including new Extended Facilities E39, E40, and E41. The STAMP system employs new data logger and multiplexer equipment, and Stevens Water Monitoring System Inc. HydraProbe probes. As much of the old SWATS infrastructure as possible is being re-used. The SWATS at the SGP Central Facility will be maintained for a year to enable possible comparison between the SWATS and STAMP measurements. The STAMP makes measurements at 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 cm depth, replicated in three profiles, and includes a heated rain gauge for precipitation measurements. Most of the STAMP systems should have been installed by the time this poster is displayed.
