This thesis was a study of the effect of meteorological conditions and water management on hydrological processes in agricultural fields. The emphasis was put on parameterization, validation and critical analysis of the different methods commonly used in field-scale hydrological models. The study object was a two dimensional soil profile covered with cultivated grass that completely shaded the ground. Both energy and water balance components were estimated and compared with observed values and experimental results. A standard procedure for estimating net radiation was parameterized with new values to get a better fit with observed radiation in Estonia. The commonly used set of parameters were found to systematically overestimate net radiat...
