Introduction

Technical background and scope of application of the standard

As a special supplement to QX/T118-2020, this standard establishes a quality control system for hourly soil moisture observation data using the frequency domain reflectometry method. The technical evolution integrates the automated quality control concept of the International Soil Moisture Observation Network (ISMN) and refers to the localized practice of the Chinese Automatic Soil Moisture Observation System.


Analysis of the core terminology system

Terms Units of measurement Typical abnormal scenarios
Soil volumetric moisture content % Data invalidation under frozen state
Soil effective moisture storage mm Sudden change detection during continuous irrigation

Key points for implementing quality control methods

4.2.3 Technical specifications for limit value inspection

Use dynamic threshold algorithm: When the theoretical upper limit (1-θ_w)×100 calculation result is greater than 60%, 60% is used as the upper limit value. Where θ_w represents the soil wilting moisture (weight moisture content).

4.2.5 Temporal consistency check case

Precipitation scenario example: When the precipitation R=5mm within 2 hours, the volume moisture content of the surface soil increases by more than 5% in 1 hour, triggering a suspicious flag. This rule effectively identifies abnormally wet data caused by automatic irrigation system failures.


Implementation suggestions and precautions

  1. For the drying method data, the impact of laboratory measurement errors on the limit value needs to be considered
  2. It is recommended to establish a soil freezing state database to assist in internal consistency checks
  3. Time series analysis should use a sliding window algorithm to optimize mutation detection
