Short summary
The German federal state of Brandenburg is particularly prone to soil moisture droughts. To support the management of related risks, we introduce a novel soil moisture monitoring network based on cosmic-ray neutron sensing technology. The resulting observations can be particularly helpful to evaluate and improve soil moisture products from modelling or remote sensing.
