Abstract

Previously the stronger coupling between soil moisture and precipitation in the land-atmosphere interaction have widely been studied. However, few work discusses the causality between them. In this paper, we use Granger causality (GC) and New causality (NC) to detect the causality between soil of different depth moisture and precipitation. Our results demonstrate that the causality between shallow soil moisture and precipitation is greater than that between deep soil moisture and precipitation. And the results also demonstrate that the NC method is much clearer to reveal the causal influence between soil moisture and precipitation than GC method in the time domain.
