Topographic controls of soil moisture distributions
Abstract
SUMMARY: Soil moisture distributions on an instrumented hillslope at Slapton, South Devon, are compared to two topographic indices. The index a/s has been used in a computer runoff model to predict the location of zones of surface saturation on a hillslope (Beven & Kirkby, 1979), whilst the index plan curvature is derived from techniques of terrain analysis using gridded altitude data (Evans, 1980). Neither index is entirely satisfactory for predicting the changing pattern of soil moisture on the hillslope; a combined index proved most appropriate, but only at times of high soil wetness. The potential value of topographic indices as a basis for the prediction of soil moisture distributions and hillslope runoff is briefly discussed.

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.
