Observed
Observations
Satellite measurements, meteorological observations or forcing products, field measurements, and independent records retain their native spatial and temporal scales.
Scientific Stewardship
Scientific interpretation
BAITSSS outputs depend on input data, model configuration, field conditions, and model version.
01 · Data and model outputs
Observed, supplied, and modeled quantities
Supplied
Model inputs
Project geometry, dates, soil properties, rooting assumptions, management information, and configured parameters define the simulation setup.
Modeled
Model outputs
ET components, soil-water states, modeled irrigation, resistance behavior, and simulated temperatures are calculated quantities.
02 · Interpretation
Key distinctions
Irrigation
Modeled irrigation
Modeled irrigation is not documented farmer-applied irrigation unless independent irrigation records establish that correspondence.
Comparison
Model–observation differences
Differences may reflect forcing data, parameters, model structure, spatial scale, timing, or measurement uncertainty.
