SCHIELDGE, JOHN P. | Kahle, Anne B. | ALLEY, RONALD E.
We simulated the diurnal variations of soil temperature and moisture content for a bare agricultural field in the San Joaquin Valley in California. The simulation pertained to the first 72 hours of drying, from saturation, of a sandy, clay loam soil. The results were compared with measurements of soil temperature and moisture content made at the field. Calculated and measured values of soil temperature trends agreed in general, but model results of moisture trends did not replicate observed diurnal effects evident at depths 4 centimeters or more below the surface.
