Abstract: Carbon dioxide (CO2) exchange processes were incorporated into a multilayer atmosphere?soil?vegetation model known as SOLVEG, and its performance was examined using measurements obtained from a grassland site. It was also ...

Abstract: This paper describes details, validation, and sensitivity analysis of a new atmosphere?soil?vegetation model. The model consists of one-dimensional multilayer submodels for atmosphere, soil, and vegetation and radiation ...

Abstract: Multiscale atmospheric forcing data at 1-, 5-, and 10-km scales from the 1997 Cooperative Atmosphere Surface Exchange Study (CASES-97) were used to drive three uncoupled land surface models: the National Center for Atmospheric ...

Abstract: his paper describes aerodynamic roughness properties for turbulent flows over various building arrays that represent realistic urban surface geometries. First, building morphological characteristics such as roughness density ...

Abstract: Land surface heterogeneity over an area of 71 km ? 74 km in the lower Walnut River watershed, Kansas, was investigated using models and measurements from the 1997 Cooperative Atmosphere Surface Exchange Study (CASES-97) ...

Abstract: A one-dimensional soil model has been developed to better predict heat and water exchanges in arid and semiarid regions. New schemes to calculate evaporation and adsorption in the soil were incorporated in the model. High ...

Abstract: A land surface model including cloud (fog) water deposition on vegetation was developed to better predict the heat and water exchanges between the biosphere and atmosphere. A new scheme to calculate cloud water deposition ...
