Dielectric spectroscopy
The dataset contains fitted three-pole Debye dielectric model parameters of 567 soil spectra. Three soils of loamy sand, sandy loam, and silt loam textures were tested. Of each soil, 20 samples of various water contents were prepared with the use of distilled water and potassium chloride solutions, 5 samples for each liquid. Air-dry samples were also prepared. Dielectric spectra were obtained with the use of a six-channel coaxial-transmission-line cell system at 9 controlled temperature steps from 0.5 to 40°C in the 0.02 – 3 GHz frequency range.

The dielectric spectroscopy data was obtained to characterize the dielectric responses and calculate the dielectric loss in the FEM model. The complex dielectric permittivity was measured with the Novocontrol Concept 80 broadband dielectric spectrometer. Silver electrode with a diameter of 30 mm was prepared on both sides of the sample by sputtering. The temperature range in this experiment was from -30 to 150 °C with an interval of 10 °C. The frequency range was from 1 Hz to 1 MHz.
