Soil Moisture
Soil moisture is a climate parameter of considerable scientific and
practical (agricultural) interest that is not routinely measured over large
areas of the earth. This impedes attempts to make comparisons of
calculated values with actual measurements. Figure 12 shows DJF
soil moisture from the same two models. The tendency for agreement of the
two models on DJF precipitation in the mid and high latitudes of the
Northern Hemisphere leads to a tendency for agreement on soil moisture as
well. Values for JJA (Figure 13) show no
consistent agreement.
