Abstract
We suggest an interactive atmosphere-soil numerical model to evaluate the impact of perturbed weather conditions on the diurnal patterns of soil moisture, soil temperature, and surface layer fluxes. In this study, we applied the model, for illustrative purposes, to common weather perturbations, including cloudiness, passage of a warm front, and passage of a cold front, during the spring in Israel. We found cloudiness to have somewhat more pronounced effects than the passage of typical warm or cold fronts. Future implications of the methodology are discussed.
