Surface Soil Moisture is the ‘Gate’ Through Which All Exchanges of Water Between the Atmosphere and Subsurface Must Pass

The present study focuses on the calibra1on of a certain recharge parameter. The value used in the default model gives soil moisture recessions that are too slow. Calibra1ng the parameter allows more realis1c recessions. Koster (NASA GSFC)
