Short summary
This paper presents a new analytical concept to answer long-lasting questions of the cosmic-ray neutron sensing community, such as what is the influence of a distant area or patches of different land use on the measurement signal? or is the detector sensitive enough to detect a change of soil moisture (e.g. due to irrigation) in a remote field at a certain distance? The concept may support signal interpretation and sensor calibration, particularly in heterogeneous terrain.
