RISThe Sensitivity of Global Climate Model Simulations to the Representation of Soil Moisture Heterogeneity
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Improving the treatment of subgrid-scale soil moisture variations is recognized as a priority for the next generation of land surface schemes. Here, the impact of an improved representation of subgrid-scale soil moisture ...
Explicit Representation of Subgrid Heterogeneity in a GCM Land Surface Scheme
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A land surface scheme that may be run with or without a tiled representation of subgrid heterogeneity and includes an implicit atmospheric coupling scheme is described. Simulated average surface air temperatures and diurnal ...
Characterizing GCM Land Surface Schemes to Understand Their Responses to Climate Change
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The impact of land surface representation on GCM simulations of climate change is analyzed using eight climate change experiments, carried out with four GCMs each utilizing two different land surface schemes (LSSs). In the ...
The Representation of Snow in Land Surface Schemes: Results from PILPS 2(d)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Twenty-one land surface schemes (LSSs) performed simulations forced by 18 yr of observed meteorological data from a grassland catchment at Valdai, Russia, as part of the Project for the Intercomparison of Land-Surface ...
