This work presents the calibration and validation procedure of a simulation model to predict the temperature dynamics for soil ridges partly covered by a plastic mulch. To this end, soil temperatures were measured hourly over 3 months at two sites for six different plastic-mulch treatments. For calibration, only three parameters had to be estimated from data taken over one month at one site. Overall,...
An energy balance model for a two-dimensional ridge surface partly covered by a plastic mulch is presented. Previous approaches are modified and extended to include: (1) the circumsolar part of diffuse radiation; and (2) the altered interception of diffuse short- and long-wave radiation due to horizon obstructions and surface slope. A simple solution was found for the interception problem under an...
