Abstract: Surface water and energy balance plays an important role in land surface models, especially in coupled land surface?atmospheric models due to the complicated interactions between land surfaces and the overlying atmosphere. ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the performance of the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) Noah land surface model at two semiarid sites in southern Arizona. The goal is to evaluate the transferability of calibrated ...

Abstract: In coupled land surface?atmosphere modeling, the possibility and benefits of constraining model parameters using observational data bear investigation. Using the locally coupled NCAR Single-column Community Climate Model ...
