Soil Moisture code for sites with significant vegetation #50

Closed kristinemlarson closed 1 month ago

kristinemlarson commented 1 year ago

Our current soil moisture module (vwc) is based on the operational PBO H2O model. This worked well in the grasslands and savannahs of the western U.S. These regions are generally categorized as semi-arid. We know this model fails for regions with vegetation water content of > 2kg/m/m. Clara Chew developed a better model for these more challenging sites. It was coded in Matlab - and could easily be ported to python. Let me know if you are interested in tackling this port. For details on Clara's work, you can look at https://www.kristinelarson.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/ChewSmallLarson2015_withoutFront.pdf

I am consolidating this issue with the SWE issue.

ETH might have an interest?

i have been working on this steadily - but it does not work yet.

Hello. I read Clara's work and I am so interested in this topic. I wanted to ask you, are the codes for this work available?

kristinemlarson commented 1 month ago

I don't have this code working.
