Challenges with effective representations of heterogeneity in soil hydrology based on local water content measurements

We allow the effective material properties to deviate locally to consider the impact of the small‐scale heterogeneity on the water content measurements. In the synthetic experiments, the estimated reduced one‐dimensional representations predict soil water content and fluxes sufficiently well but can...

Tóm tắt:We allow the effective material properties to deviate locally to consider the impact of the small‐scale heterogeneity on the water content measurements. In the synthetic experiments, the estimated reduced one‐dimensional representations predict soil water content and fluxes sufficiently well but can fail to predict the accurate timing and magnitude of infiltration fronts. Cumulative fluxes below the water content measurements were predicted correctly even on short time scales, if evaporation was estimated accurately. However, this proved to be challenging if the local evaporation fluxes above the measurement profile deviated strongly from the average evaporation fluxes of the heterogeneous medium. The one‐dimensional estimation leads to soil hydraulic parameters describing effective material properties that differ from the true material properties to compensate the missing representation of heterogeneity and two‐dimensional flow.
