Evaluation of Deterministic Models for Near Surface Soil Moisture Prediction
Abstract
The prediction of environmental factors such as soil moisture, soil strength etc., at a reasonably coarse scale with limited input data is the prime objective of this research project. Previous models have tended to concentrate at the hillslope or very large scales. In this report the objectives have been refined as follows: (a) to continue development of a physically based scheme for forecasting various environmental factors such as soil moisture and soil strength, (b) to set up appropriate field trials as a method of verification and validation of our scheme, (c) to further develop the operational aspects of the scheme with respect to ground rules for setting up the scheme.
