Fig. 1. Soil water balance of the monitored profiles (1.2 m) as a function of day of year (DOY) during 1998 and 1999. Symbols represent measurements, and the lines joining the measurements are spline interpolation. Vertical step plots represent daily water balance as calculated using methods described in the text.
