The obtained values were analysed to assess whether the signatures could discriminate between land uses and could be interpreted in terms of hydrological processes. These signatures were applied to datasets from six in-situ observatories around the world with contrasted climates and land uses. which govern the nature and magnitude of hydrological processes. styles/hydrological-processes. We propose nine soil moisture signatures, encompassing three levels of hydrological time response (storm event response : rising time, normalized amplitude, response type, rising limb density, seasonal response : dates and durations of seasonal transitions, average characteristic values : distribution type, field capacity and wilting point). courses (e.g., Geog 303, 405) to help them reference correctly for this discipline.

The concept of hydrological signature is now being increasingly used for the evaluation of hydrological models. Hydrological Processes is an international journal that publishes original scientific papers advancing understanding of the mechanisms underlying the movement and storage of water in the environment, and the interaction of water with geological, biogeochemical, atmospheric and ecological systems. This variable has so far been little used, mainly due to the difficulty to extract information from in-situ soil moisture observations that can be directly compared to simulated model variables. Soil moisture is a critical control of process-based hydrologic models.
