Soil, through its various functions, plays a vital role in the Earth's ecosystems and provides
multiple ecosystem services to humanity. Pedotransfer functions (PTFs) are simple to …

The land surface is a key component of climate models. It controls the partitioning of
available energy at the surface between sensible and latent heat, and it controls the …

The Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model is an atmospheric modeling system
designed for both research and numerical weather prediction. WRF is an open-source …

For half a century, the process of economic integration of the Amazon has been based on
intensive use of renewable and nonrenewable natural resources, which has brought …

Land use change and deforestation can influence local temperature and climate. Here we
use a coupled ocean-atmosphere model to assess the impact of savannization of the …

This first paper of the two‐part series describes the objectives of the community efforts in
improving the Noah land surface model (LSM), documents, through mathematical …

This paper addresses and documents a number of issues related to the implementation of
an advanced land surface–hydrology model in the Penn State–NCAR fifth-generation …

A generalization of the single soil layer variable infiltration capacity (VIC) land surface
hydrological model previously implemented in the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory …

The purpose of developing an integrated wind-erosion modelling system (IWEMS) is to
produce quantitative predictions of wind erosion on scales from local to global. The system …

We developed a simple, single-layer urban canopy model, and comparedit to both multi-
layer and slab models. Our single-layer model has thefollowing features:(a) It is a column …
