## Abstract The sensitivity of a tropical model to soil moisture content has been investigated using a simplified version of the UK Meteorological Office 11βlayer model. the model area represented a zonallyβsymmetric version of West Africa. the results of one experiment (D) with a desert in the sam

## Abstract A model for the temporal distribution of rainfall is derived from measurements made in central Amazonian rainforest. A contrast is made with a rainfall distribution model which has been used in a standβalone comparison of landβsurface subβmodels of two General Circulation Models (GCMs).
## Abstract High frequency seasonal drought in purple soils (Regosols in FAO taxonomy) of the hilly upland areas of Sichuan basin, China, is one of the key restrictive factors for crop production. In order to manage irrigation and fertilizer application in these soils effectively, the soil water co
## Abstract A daily step model of chemical mass balance in the topsoil is presented and validated at the three experimental sites in Europe, and subsequently applied to perform two distinct numerical experiments. First, an experiment was run using hypothetic soluble chemicals with halfβlives rangin
## Background: The effect of rainfall patterns on soil surface co2 efflux, soil moisture, soil temperature and plant growth was investigated in a grassland ecosystem of northern ontario, canada, where climatic change is predicted to introduce new precipitation regimes. rain shelters were establishe
Detailed spatial patterns of soil moisture were measured for 13 dates at the 10 . 5 ha Tarrawarra catchment in southern Victoria, Australia. Several analyses of the data are summarized. These include: hydrological behaviour, including preferred states, spatial organization and the performance of ter
