Signal contribution of distant areas to cosmic-ray neutron sensors – implications for footprint and sensitivity

<p>This paper presents a new theoretical approach to estimate the contribution of distant areas to the measurement signal of cosmic-ray neutron detectors for snow and soil moisture monitoring. The algorithm is based on the local neutron production and the transport mechanism, given by the neut...
