This paper focuses on the basic principle of TDR technology and its application in Caijiachuan watershed, the Loess Plateau, China, the composition and structure of a set of TDR-TRIME. The installation, measurement and calibration of TRIME-TDR in the Loess Plateau has been introduced. The factors that can influence the veracity of the measurement by TDR have also been analyzed in the article.展开更多
