Cosmic ray neutron sensing (CRNS) sensor, is an innovative technique used to measure soil moisture and snow water equivalent over large areas (Zreda et al., 2012). The advantage of CRNS over traditional point-based sensors is its ability to cover a large footprint of typically 10–20 ha (Köhli et al., 2015), making it ideal for monitoring hydrological processes at the field to landscape scales.In the present study, one CRNS Sensor, Model SP, made by StyX Neutronica GmbH was deployed in a stationary position to provide continuous, non-invasive measurements at the KITcube site near Villingen-Schwenningen.
