Fig. 11. Dependence of the roughness parameter h on the volumetric water content {theta}2,t measured at the 2-cm depth for the two periods {tau}1 and {tau}2 (solid lines). The dashed lines show h values for {tau}1 and {tau}2 averaged over the measured water content range. The calculated {sigma} corresponding to h during {tau}1 or {tau}2 are indicated on the right axis. These values are of the same order as the optically measured values {sigma}opt shown in Table 1.
