A quasi‐dynamic wetness index for characterizing the spatial distribution of zones of surface saturation and soil water content
Abstract
A quasi‐dynamic wetness index that accounts for variable drainage times since a prior rainfall event is derived from simple subsurface flow theory. The method is tested through a series of field observations and numerical experiments using a spatially distributed, dynamic hydrologic model. The quasi‐dynamic wetness index is shown to be a useful extension of previously developed static indices for predicting the location of zones of soil saturation and the distribution of soil water (i.e., the soil water content overlying a shallow impermeable or semiimpermeable layer). The new index is not constrained by the steady state assumption that forms the basis of existing indices.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
