| Abstract | In the recent years, the German federal state of Brandenburg has been particularly impacted by soil moisture droughts. To support the timely and informed management of such water-related risks, we introduce a novel soil moisture and drought monitoring network based on cosmic-ray neutron sensing technology. This initiative is driven by a joint collaboration of research institutions and federal state agencies, and it is the first of its kind in Germany to have started operation. By mid 2024, eight sites were instrumented across Brandenburg; four more are planned for 2025. The data will be openly accessible to foster applications and collaboration right from the start. |
