Micrometeorologist, Centre for Ecology & Hydrology. Water, evapotranspiration and greenhouse gas flux measurements. Large area soil water content, @CosmosCEH
Despite recent rain, soils in many areas remain drier than normal for the time of year. UKCEH uses cosmic ray neutrons to monitor soil moisture to depths of 20–30 cm at COSMOS sites across the UK.

The soil moisture summary for August is now available at https://t.co/w12AL7Bzfa. Many sites are now notably or extremely dry for the time of year following another warm and dry month. Almost 90 % of our sites observed the lowest average August soil moisture on project record.
Soil moisture still very low (18%) at our COSMOS-UK Chimney Meadows site in the Thames catchment following the recent hot weather and receiving only 5.5mm rainfall so far during August.
@SUMITSE14587600@UK_CEH we have installed & run a lake buoy network for many years. I may be able to help, and or @SteveThackeray. Happy to share experience.

Today is International Stuttering Awareness Day #ISAD2019 1% of people stammer, but the McGuire Programme #Beyondstuttering has helped me & many more overcome their stammer and work to be eloquent speakers, & help others to do the same.
Dates now finalised for our summer school 'Modelling hydrology and global change': 13 to 17 July 2020. Applications open 1st February 2020. For more info: https://t.co/S6sHpwpkSU. @hydrology @climatemodelling @landsurface science @waterresources.
Thanks to @odee_david KEFRI, Finlays & @CEHScienceNews teams, the @DFID_UK@FCFAhycristal has new unique climate data from data sparse East Africa- to test & improve climate change models, informing decisions on future livelihood and infrastructure adaptations. Great work.
@EvansJonG & @drylett @CEHScienceNews servicing the @FCFAhycristal Climate/Sensible Heat Station at James Finlays Marinyn Tea Estate Kericho, Kenya. Great to witness the deft operation. This site is to benchmark future installations that we are advocating in the region @iLEAPS.
Our Waddesdon COSMOS-UK station has now been recording data for 5 years! This plot shows the site's soil volumetric water content (%) since 2013. Have a look at the other time-series data here: https://t.co/9s7HoB0zEh
