Abstract: An approach to simulate soil moisture content with the force?restore soil?vegetation?atmosphere transfer (SVAT) model in the case of stratified soils is proposed. Typical soil profiles possess marked variation in soil ...

Abstract: The transient status of water availability to vegetation is central in shaping both the canopy-level processes as well as the spatial aspects of the turbulent exchange between the vegetation and atmosphere. This is examined ...

Abstract: In the presence of uncertain initial conditions and soil hydraulic properties, land surface model (LSM) performance can be significantly improved by the assimilation of periodic observations of certain state variables, ...

Abstract: AbstractIn the last several decades, extended dry periods have affected the Mediterranean area with dramatic impacts on water resources. Climate models are predicting further warming, with negative effects on water ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the spatial relationships between surface fluxes and near-surface atmospheric properties (AP), and the potential errors in flux estimation due to homogeneous atmospheric inputs over heterogeneous ...

Abstract: The statistical structure of the turbulent pressure fluctuations was measured in the dynamic sublayer of a large grass-covered forest clearing by a free air static pressure probe and modeled using Townsend's hypothesis. ...
