FIG. 4. The impact of a different parameterization of water repellency on the distribution of volumetric water contents at the start of the rewetting phase (after 3 d of precipitation). All simulations use the parameter set with
l2= 0.1,
min = 5° ± 1.5°,
max = 90° ± 20°,
crit = 0.015, t0 = 10 d, and
FK at 60 hPa. Only one of these parameters is modified for each of the simulations: (A)
max = 70° ± 20°, (B)
max = 90° ± 20°, (C)
max = 130° ± 20°, (D)
crit = 0.03,
l2 (E) = 0.05, (F) t0 = 20 d.
