VIC can be related directly to a site-specific soil EC through the use of Sentek’s
Benchmarking Procedure.
The accuracy of any such relationships is dependent upon the accuracy and
competency with which this procedure is performed. In Sentek’s own field
testing, strong relationships (r
2 =0.9) have been achieved. Refer to the
benchmarking section of the Sentek TriSCAN manual.
Precise temperature effects on salinity data output are currently unknown. It is
however, known that there is a minor positive relationship between VIC and soil
temperature. The salinity model currently does not include temperature
correction.
