Soil Conditions: Soil Climate Analysis Network
The National Water and Climate Center administers a pilot soil climate monitoring program consisting of automated data collection sites across the U.S. The Soil Climate Analysis Network (SCAN) pilot program focuses on agricultural areas of the U.S. and is composed of over 200 stations. A typical SCAN site monitors soil moisture content at several depths, air temperature, relative humidity, solar radiation, wind speed and direction, liquid precipitation, and barometric pressure.
