Pedotransfer functions are used to relate gridded databases of soil texture information to the
soil hydraulic and thermal parameters of land surface models. The parameters within these …

Abstract Changes in the frequency of extreme weather events related to climate change
potentially pose significant challenges to UK agricultural production. There is a need for …

With the growing complexity of land surface models used to represent the terrestrial part of
wider Earth system models, the need for sophisticated and robust parameter optimisation …

The ability to monitor, understand, and predict the dynamics of the terrestrial carbon cycle
requires the capacity to robustly and coherently synthesize multiple streams of information …

Soil moisture predictions from land surface models are important in hydrological, ecological,
and meteorological applications. In recent years, the availability of wide-area soil moisture …

The role of the land carbon cycle in climate change remains highly uncertain. A key source
of the projection spread is related to the assumed response of photosynthesis to warming …

Many terrestrial landscapes are heterogeneous. Mixed land cover and land use generate a
complex mosaic of fragmented ecosystems at fine spatial resolutions with contrasting …

The paper presents a simplification of the Kalman smoother that can be run as a post-
processing step using only minimal stored information from a Kalman filter analysis, which is …

Land surface and hydrological processes and feedbacks that act at sub-grid scales need to
be parameterised within models. These parameterisation schemes are an important source …
