The Campaign
The Great Plains Irrigation Experiment (GRAINEX) was a field campaign that examined the effects of rapid onset and sustained irrigation on the evolution of the planetary boundary layer. It involved a single deployment in southeastern Nebraska during the summer of 2018. Several field sites were set up across irrigated and non-irrigated areas to collect soil properties, radiation, and meteorological parameters measurements. The NASA Twin Otter aircraft was equipped with the Goddard Radio Frequency Explorer (GREX) radiometer to measure soil moisture. GRAINEX was funded by NSF and NASA.
