Tool Soil Moisture Content

The WEELS (Wind Erosion on European Light Soils) soil moisture model dynamically calculates the soil moisture based on the rules proposed by the DVWK (1996) with input data about:
- soil properties (grids: field capacity and permanent wilting point)
- land use (grid: crop types)
- climate (table: daily values of precipitation, temperature, air humidity)
