Abstract :
Soil water modeling research conducted as part of the AgRISTARS Soil Moisture project was reviewed along with other relevant studies. Research was categorized as follows: reviews of models, development of simulation models, integrating remotely sensed data and models, surface versus profile soil moisture, and estimating soil water properties. This review and evaluation found that some of the major objectives of the program were satisfied and that several of the results represent significant contributions to the science.
