Code for use within Matlab for computing the damping and lag time of responses to cyclical infiltration in a layered vadose zone in Central Valley, California

This data release contains code for computing the filtering properties of cyclical infiltration in a layered vadose zone in Central Valley, California. The code for computing the filtering is described in a manuscript that is under review at Vadose Zone Journal. The updated data contained in this data release are the code to compute the filtering properties of the vadose zone. This code was developed in 2018. The code uses existing data as inputs. The inputs are from a groundwater flow model for Central Valley, California, described by Faunt et al. (2009), and from a soil texture model described by Faunt et al. (2010). The inputs from Faunt et al. (2009) and Faunt et al. (2010) were released in those years and are available for download from https://ca.water.usgs.gov/projects/central-valley/central-valley-hydrologic-model.html
