neptoon
Neptoon is a Python tool for processing Cosmic-Ray Neutron Sensors (CRNS). CRNS estimate soil moisture at the field scale and up to root-zone depths by tracking changes in the number of fast neutrons at a location. It addresses the need for additional processing and correction steps to isolate the impact of hydrogen in soil moisture given the inverse relationship between hydrogen atoms and fast neutrons.
The tool incorporates current theories and equations as understanding of CRNS evolves. It supports multiple modes of operation including a graphical user interface, configuration files for reproducible processing, and direct use within a Python IDE. Available processing steps include importing data, applying quality checks, corrections, smoothing, sensor calibration, and generating soil moisture estimates. Users can also handle external data collection, save processed data, and produce PDF outputs.
Neptoon provides a graphical user interface for ease of use along with support for configuration files and Python scripting. Advanced usage covers changing expected column names and writing custom corrections. The documentation includes guidance on installation, workflow, examples, and core concepts such as units and column handling in the tool.
It is designed to be simple for those who wish to apply standard sensor corrections and full-featured for researchers who want to experiment with new methods or theories in the CRNS space. Lead developers are Daniel Power, Martin Schrön, Louis Trinkle, and Markus Köhli, with additional acknowledgments to several contributors. Development was supported by the European Commission’s Horizon Europe Framework Programme under the ENVRINNOV project. Neptoon is released under the MIT License.
