A network of soil moisture and soil temperature profiles as well as solar radiation and precipitation gages are distributed throughout the central region of the DelMarVa peninsula to capture variability of these parameters to give a broad understanding of agricultural conditions in this domain. Soil profile data is captured at depths of 5, 10, 20, and 50 cm below the surface and recorded hourly at locations on the edges of agricultural fields, not inside the production fields.
