In this work, simulations with the mesoscale meteorological model FOOT3DK for a semi-arid
research site in southern morocco are presented. The main aim of this study is to introduce …

Soil is the largest reservoir of water in a catchment and evapotranspiration is the largest
yearly output flux of water from the soil in semiarid environments at the catchment scale …

A physically based, variably saturated flow model was developed to predict soil water
dynamics, evapotranspiration (ET) from the vadose zone, and recharge to (or exfiltration …

Detailed plot-scale observations of basic hydrometeorological variables represent valuable
data for assessing the quality of the soil moisture module and evapotranspiration scheme in …

A simple model of evaporation from a bare soil surface is developed. This model combines
two processes of water vapor transport: one is the vapor transport in air expressed by the …

Soil wetness is typically highly variable in space over the length scales of general circulation
model grid areas (∼ 100 km), and the stress functions relating the surface …

As part of the framework of the EFEDA (Echieval field experiment in a desertification
threatened area) experiment, an 11-day data set including atmospheric forcing, turbulent …

Land surface–atmosphere interactions are a key component of climate modeling. They are
particularly critical to understand and anticipate the climate and the water resources over the …

Continuous time series of soil water content over a period of more than 9 months for a
midlatitude sandy loam soil covered by grass are calculated with the Campbell and the van …

In crop simulation models the water subroutine computes evaporation and transpiration
separately. This property allows a greater confidence in the simulation of the early crop …
