Computer simulations of the impact on climate of solar variability generally fall into four categories[ First\ there are lower atmosphere GCM experiments\ in which enhanced solar activity is represented by changes in spectrally integrated solar constant[ Secondly\ there are GCM studies of the dynami

โฆ Synopsis
The temporal variability of soil wetness and its interactions with the atmosphere were studied using a general circulation model of the atmosphere. It was found that time series of soil wetness computed by the model contain substantial amounts of variance at low frequencies. Long time-scale anomalies of soil moisture resemble the red noise response of the soil layer to white noise rainfall forcing. The dependence of the temporal variability of soil moisture on potential evaporation and precipitation is discussed. *Subsequent to the preparation of this manuscript, the detailed results of this study have been published elsewhere. See Delworth and Manabe (1988, 1989).
