ABSTRACT

To overcome the limitations of some unknown input data (model parameters and initial conditions), earlier papers (Bicalho & Cui 2009; Bicalho et al. 2011) have already evaluated the sensitivity of predicted temperature changes in the region due to ground-atmospheric interactions to the variations of some not measured parameters, such us soil albedo and saturated hydraulic conductivity, and the initial soil temperature profile which may change during the day. This paper is a continuation of the earlier papers, and for providing continuity, the previous papers are briefly summarized here.
