Modeling Soil Moisture Profiles in Irrigated Fields by the Principle of Maximum Entropy

Modeling Soil Moisture Profiles in Irrigated Fields by the Principle of Maximum Entropy

Vertical soil moisture profiles based on the principle of maximum entropy (POME) were validated using field and model data and applied to guide an irrigation cycle over a maize field in north central Alabama (USA). The results demonstrate that a simple two-constraint entropy model under the assumpti...
