Soil Moisture Clause Samples
The Soil Moisture clause defines the required level of moisture in the soil for certain contractual obligations, such as planting, construction, or landscaping, to proceed. Typically, it sets specific moisture thresholds or testing methods to determine if the soil is suitable for the intended work, and may require verification by a third party or through standardized testing procedures. This clause ensures that work is carried out under optimal soil conditions, preventing issues like poor plant establishment or structural instability, and thereby allocates risk and responsibility for site readiness between the parties.
Soil Moisture. The target of the SMOS mission is to provide a global image of soil moisture every one to three days with an accuracy of 4 % at a spatial resolution of 50 km. The unit is m³/ m³. As the original data has a different coordinate reference system (EASE-Grid, EPSG:6933) than used for this project, a transformation to UTM WGS84 has been performed. This data set was clipped according to the study areas and resampled to the 100 m grid, resulting in monthly SMOS data for the year 2014 for each study area. For the estimation of the accuracy, it is relevant to note that the number of daily maps included in the monthly average varies, depending on the satellite cover. However, there was no information available on these coverages.

Soil Moisture. The soil moisture is a product of the Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission of the European Space Agency (ESA) obtained from the instrument MIRAS. Data availability is assured through the ground segment CATDS (Centre Aval de Traitement des Données SMOS) operated for the "Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales" (CNES, France) by IFREMER (Brest, France). The data are currently derived from level 3 monthly averaged products. The monthly resolution is obtained from aggregated daily global maps, whose number can vary from month to month.
