## Abstract A key state variable in land surfaceβatmosphere interactions is soil moisture, which affects surface energy fluxes, runoff and the radiation balance. Soil moisture modelling relies on parameter estimates that are inadequately measured at the necessarily fine model scales. Hence, model s

## Abstract As an indication of the surface polarized emission, a polarization index (__PI__) of microwave radiance from the terrain surface (halfβspace of canopyβsoil land) is derived from the radiative transfer model. This __PI__ separates the radiance effects of the canopyβsoil moisture and inte
## Abstract Soil moisture is one of the few directly observable hydrological variables that has an important role in water and energy budgets necessary for climate studies. At the present time there is no practical approach to measuring and monitoring soil moisture at the frequency and scale necess
A numerical model that solves the unsteady, incompressible, Reynolds averaged, Navier-Stokes equations has been utilized to simulate 57 cases of monochromatic, breaking waves over a sloping bed. The Volume of Fluid technique is used to track the complex, discontinuous free surface and the Renormaliz
