Aggregation of Wet and Dry Land Surfaces in Interception Schemes for General Circulation Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper investigates the parameterization of rainfall interception by a vegetation canopy in GCMS. Recent land surface schemes have introduced canopy water balance equations, which include sub-grid scale rainfall ...
The Influence of Subsurface Energy Storage on Seasonal Temperature Variations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A heat balance model is used to investigate the modification of the annual temperature cycle by seasonal energy storage in the ocean and land. The neglect of horizontal heat transport in the model precludes realistic ...
