The Effect of the Dry Line and Convective Initiation on Drought Evolution over Oklahoma during the 2011 Drought

Table 1

The soil moisture values used to replace Control soil moisture values in each wrfinput file with their associated soil type. Soil porosity values are for Moist simulations, and wilting point values replace soil moisture values in the Dry simulations. Numbers next to each soil type are the corresponding WRF soil type classifications used within the wrfinput file.
