Fig. 7. Response surface of the objective function {Phi}[I(t), {theta}SC(z, T)] in the {alpha}Ks parameter plane for cumulative infiltraiton at -16-cm supply pressure for the no-tillage surface, Plot 3. All other parameters were set equivalent to the values obtained for the three-parameter fit. At the converged minimum, marked with an "X", error corresponding to the residuals of the infiltration data comprised 75% of the value of {Phi}[I(t), {theta}SC(z, T)].
