(A) Daytime averaged values (6–18 local time) of sensible heat flux binned by soil moisture (black) together with their theoretical estimate (gray line, Eq. 1) as well as (B) theoretical velocity of the soil moisture-induced circulation (Eq. 4) as a function of soil moisture. The two dashed black lines in B are field capacity (0.37) and permanent wilting point (0.185). Circle shows the simulated soil moisture value 1 d before the precipitation starts falling in the desiccated region.
