WUFI

How can I get the moisture content at a monitoring position?

WUFI's output includes the temporal behavior of

• temperature and relative humidity at the monitoring positions, and of
• the mean moisture content of each layer.

In order to get the moisture content at a monitoring position, you can either

• calculate it from the relative humidity prevalent at that monitoring position by means of the moisture storage function, or
• insert a thin 'diagnostic' layer at the position in question which has the same material properties as the surrounding material. WUFI will output curves for the water contents of each layer, including a separate curve for the diagnostic layer. This is also a useful way to get the water content of, say, the outermost 5 cm of a layer.
