PCTAWC - Percent available water

Calculates the soil water volumetric content for an array of soil layers based on a user-provided percent available water.

Inputs:

• ICSW% = initial soil water content expressed as percent of available water (%)
• Implicit Inputs (i.e., available in the data):
• SLLL = array of soil layer lower limit (mm3/mm3)
• SLDUL = array of soil layer drained upper limit (mm3/mm3)

Outputs:

• ICH2O = array of final soil water content by layer (mm3/mm3)

Procedure:

ICH2O(j) = SLLL(j) + ICSW%/100. * (SLDUL(j) - SLLL(j))

Example:

FILL, ICH20, PCTAWC(), 50

Sets initial soil water content at 50% of available water capacity.
