| Title: | Main Title: Predicting subgrid variability of soil water content from basic soil information |
| Description: | Abstract: Knowledge of unresolved soil water content variability within model grid cells (i.e., subgrid variability) is impor tant for accurate predic tions of land-surface energy and hydrologic fluxes. Here we derived a closed-form expression to describe how soil water content variability depends on mean soil water content (σθ(<θ>)) using stochastic analysis of 1-D unsaturat ed gravitational flow based on the van Genuchten-Mualem (VGM) model. A sensitivity analysis showed that the n parameter strongly influenced both the shape and magnitude of the maximum of σθ(<θ>). The closed- form express ion was used to predict σθ(<θ>) f or eight data sets with varying soil tex ture using VGM parameters obtained from pedotransfer f unctions that rely on available soil information. Generally, there was good agreement between obser ved and predicted σθ(<θ>) despite the obvious simplifications that were used to derive the closed-form expression. Fur thermore, the novel clos ed-form expression was successfully used to inversely estimate the variability of hydraulic proper ties from obser ved σθ(<θ>) data. |
