Revisiting the application of variable infiltration capacity (VIC) model in the Colorado River Basin using SMAP and GRACE
= 0.66-0.86). This multi-source evaluation framework establishes the VIC model capacity to represent subsurface water storage dynamics in different land cover types, providing enhanced confidence for supporting water management in the CRB.
