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 …

Land-surface models (LSMs) are increasingly called upon to represent not only the
exchanges of energy, water and momentum across the land–atmosphere interface (their …

SURFEX is a new externalized land and ocean surface platform that describes the surface
fluxes and the evolution of four types of surfaces: nature, town, inland water and ocean. It is …

Pacific Northwest (PNW) hydrology is particularly sensitive to changes in climate because
snowmelt dominates seasonal runoff, and temperature changes impact the rain/snow …

There are a growing number of large‐scale, complex hydrologic models that are capable of
simulating integrated surface and subsurface flow. Many are coupled to land‐surface energy …

Global Retrospective Estimation of Soil Moisture Using the Variable Infiltration Capacity
Land Surface Model, 1980–93 in: Journal of Climate Volume 14 Issue 8 (2001) Jump to …

Soil heterogeneity plays an important role in determining surface runoff generation
mechanisms. At the spatial scales represented by land surface models used in regional …

This paper describes a new parameterization to represent surface and groundwater
interaction dynamics for land surface models. With the new parameterization, effects of …

The viability of a new catchment‐based land surface model (LSM) developed for use with
general circulation models is demonstrated. First, simple empirical functions, tractable …
