| Summary: | and the atmospheric components of the continental hydrologic and the dynamics of soil moisture is investigated through a balance between positive and negative feedbacks. The be highly organized reaching a noise-induced statistical both time and space: a complex picture with nested patterns climatic scales - precipitation are hydrologic processes that data: low pass-filtering of rainfall forcing, persistence of different scales: climate, topography, precipitation, droughts and wet periods. Furthermore the model indicates a dynamics of soil moisture in space and time at climatic generated soil moisture fields are analyzed in both time and geology, pedology, vegetation. In this thesis it is examined high degree of heterogeneity over a wide range of scales in including an additive stochastic forcing term, constitute the measured from remote sensors, are analyzed under different model. Experimental large scale data of soil moisture, model's equations. The system evolves in time and shows to moisture can be described using a simple statistical approach of variability. From a dynamic perspective many factors and precipitation, and positive spatial correlations ranging up processes influence the evolution of soil moisture at resolutions. The variance of soil moisture fields is shown Runoff, infiltration, evaporation and transpiration and - at scales from the tens of meters to several kilometers. The scales is modeled including its coupling with the atmosphere scaling properties on its spatial clustering patterns. A scaling spectrum of soil moisture for high frequencies, a space showing some of the typical aspects of experimental strong correlation with the atmospheric moisture and strongly depend on soil moisture. From a descriptive subsystem as well as energy balance for the atmosphere, the process is observed. The spatial correlation remains through energy and mass fluxes. Water balance for the soil to follow a power law decay as function of the area at which to one-fifth of the domain size. typical of scaling processes. Soil moisture also shows clear unchanged with the scale and follows a power law decay viewpoint, soil moisture is. characterized by an extremely well-defined organization of statistical character links whether the apparently orderless spatial structure of soil |
