RISAn Intercomparison of Three Snow Schemes of Varying Complexity Coupled to the Same Land Surface Model: Local-Scale Evaluation at an Alpine Site
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Interactions between Soil, Biosphere, and Atmosphere land surface scheme is currently used coupled both to atmospheric models and to a distributed hydrological model. There are two snow-scheme options available for ...
A Parameterization for Land–Atmosphere-Cloud Exchange (PLACE): Documentation and Testing of a Detailed Process Model of the Partly Cloudy Boundary Layer over Heterogeneous Land
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper presents a general description of, and demonstrates the capabilities of, the Parameterization for Land?Atmosphere?Cloud Exchange (PLACE). The PLACE model is a detailed process model of the partly cloudy atmospheric ...
Inclusion of a Third Soil Layer in a Land Surface Scheme Using the Force–Restore Method
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The inclusion of a third soil layer in the Interactions between Soil, Biosphere, and Atmosphere (ISBA) model is presented in this paper. The soil water content between the base of the root zone and the deep soil layer is ...
Streamflows over a West African basin from the ALMIP-2 model ensemble
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: omparing streamflow simulations against observations has become a straightforward way to evaluate a land surface model?s (LSM) ability in simulating water budget within a catchment. Using a meso-scale river routing scheme ...
Impact of Scale and Aggregation on the Terrestrial Water Exchange: Integrating Land Surface Models and Rhône Catchment Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Land surface models (LSMs) used in climate modeling include detailed above-ground biophysics but usually lack a good representation of runoff. Both processes are closely linked through soil moisture. Soil moisture however ...
Evaluating LSM-Based Water Budgets over a West African Basin Assisted with a River Routing Scheme
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ithin the framework of the African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Analysis (AMMA) Land Surface Model Intercomparison Project phase 2 (ALMIP-2), this study evaluates the water balance simulated by the Interactions between Soil, ...
The Influence of Soil Moisture, Coastline Curvature, and Land-Breeze Circulations on Sea-Breeze-Initiated Precipitation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Idealized numerical simulations of Florida convection are performed with a coupled atmosphere?land surface model to identify the roles of initial soil moisture, coastline curvature, and land-breeze circulations on ...
Modeling Soil Moisture and Surface Flux Variability with an Untuned Land Surface Scheme: A Case Study from the Southern Great Plains 1997 Hydrology Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Parameterization for Land?Atmosphere?Cloud Exchange (PLACE), a typical surface?vegetation?atmosphere transfer (SVAT) parameterization, was used in a case study of a 2500 km2 area in southwestern Oklahoma for 9?16 July ...
The Hydrological Modeling and Analysis Platform (HyMAP): Evaluation in the Amazon Basin
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ecent advances in global flow routing schemes have shown the importance of using high-resolution topography for representing floodplain inundation dynamics more reliably. This study presents and evaluates the Hydrological ...
Simulation of Northern Eurasian Local Snow Depth, Mass, and Density Using a Detailed Snowpack Model and Meteorological Reanalyses
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Crocus snowpack model within the Interactions between Soil?Biosphere?Atmosphere (ISBA) land surface model was run over northern Eurasia from 1979 to 1993, using forcing data extracted from hydrometeorological datasets ...
