Physically-based modeling of topographic effects on spatial evapotranspiration and soil moisture patterns through radiation and wind

In this paper, simulations with the Soil Water Atmosphere Plant (SWAP) model are performed to quantify the spatial variability of both potential and actual evapotranspiration (ET), and soil moisture content (SMC) caused by topography-induced spatial wind and radiation differences. To obtain the spat...
