Hello everyone!
I'm trying to validate outputs from temperature and water content of soil layers of WRF, using NOAH-MP as land surface model. But I am not sure what these variables represent. NOAH-MP discretizes the soil into 4 layers, so does the temperature and water content of each layer represent the average value of each layer or does it represent the value of that variable at a specific depth (in this case, center of each layer)?
Secondly, I have soil measurements (temperature and water content) at different depths (10, 20, 35 and 50 cm) with Meter Teros 12 sensors. I want to validate them with the WRF outputs mentioned above but the WRF soil layers (4) range from 0-10, 10-40, 40-100 and 100-200 cm. How would you recommend me to do the validation?
I would appreciate your help. Thank you!
