Abstract In the past few years, small‐scale (2 m) prepolarized surface nuclear magnetic resonance (SNMR) has gained increasing interest in the research community. As recent studies demonstrated, the application of a strong prepolarization field enhances the SNMR signal of coils with a footprint <1 m2 up to a level that even enables investigations in urban areas. In particular, it is expected that this noninvasive method provides the soil moisture distribution in the upper 2 m of the subsurface in the near future. However, until now all field experiments have been carried out on water reservoirs only, in an approach to test and implement this rather new technique into the field of SNMR applications. We present the first prepolarized SNMR mea...
