TDR100 ( ) Lw = L ⋅ θv−max + 0.176 0.114 +2 with L the actual probe rod length, and, θv-max the maximum expected volumetric water content. Two m is added for the .5 m before the probe and some distance after the probe end. For example, using a CS610 with 0.3 m probe rod length in a soil with a porosity of 0.6 gives an estimated apparent probe length of 4.04 m. Setting the Waveform Length to 4 m is recommended. 5.
