Modelling soil temperature & soil water availability in semi-arid Sudan : validation and testing
The aim with this thesis was to investigate the land surface model used in DAYCENT. Through comparing the simulated soil moisture and soil temperature results with observed data, at the depth of 30 and 60 cm at the Demokeya site in semiarid Sudan, it was possible to evaluate the model. The ecosystem model uses soil texture data, land management information, and daily weather data to simulate plant
