View larger version (10K): [in this window] [in a new window]   Fig. 2. Estimates of soil water flux (J) as a function of time for Cases A, B, and C. Results were obtained by using the values of Td/Tu from Eq. [3] (see Fig. 1) in Eq. [5] and [7]. The parameters used for each case are given in Table 1. The horizontal dashed line in each panel represents the specified value of the flux.
