Abstract: Parameterization of land surface processes and consideration of surface inhomogeneities are very important to mesoscale meteorological modeling applications, especially those that provide information for air quality modeling. ...

Abstract: Although the development of soil, vegetation, and atmosphere interaction models has been driven primarily by the need for accurate simulations of long-term energy and moisture budgets in global climate models, the importance ...

Abstract: Part I described a land surface model, its implementation in the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University?National Center for Atmospheric Research Mesoscale Model (MM5), and some model evaluation results. Part II ...
