Abstract. In this study, information was collected on the morphology and dielectric characteristics of a natural soil catena with current field moisture in the microwave range. The catena is located on the northwestern macroslope of the Tsagan-Daban ridge in the Baikal region Selenga middle mountains. A catena is a sequence of soils that successively replace each other on a slope. Three soil pits were laid to study the catena. The particle size distribution of soils was determined. The dielectric properties of soil samples were investigated by the coaxial line method using a PNA E8663B Agilent Technologies vector network analyzer. This information is intended for a soil's dielectric properties geoinformation database development in natural conditions.

Key words: complex dielectric permittivity, underlying surface.

Financing: The work was carried out within the framework of the state assignments of the IPMS SB RAS on topic No. 0270-2024-0008 “Radiophysical methods development for studying the dynamics of the Earth land surfaces, water bodies and atmosphere in the ELF-VLF-LF-MF and VHF radio wave ranges”, IGEB SB RAS on topic No. 121030100228-4, and TSU on topic No. ¹ FSWM-2025-0014.
