An optimum heat application strategy was established for measuring thermal properties with the heat pulse method in partially frozen soils. At temperatures ≤ −5°C, T‐TDR probes were able to measure soil ice content changes with acceptable accuracy. At temperatures between −5 and 0°C, soil ice contents could be estimated from water content before freezing, TDR measured unfrozen water content, and T‐TDR measured total water content at temperatures below −5°C.
