Salut Jean-Louis,
In the eastern US the system is called SCAN - /Soil Climate Analysis
Network///. This particular system monitors soil moisture at remote
locations and sends data back to be analyzed. It is kind of neat that
they use meteors as the radio reflector.
Monitoring snow pack and soil moisture are important in the these days
of exceptional drought and wild fire.
