Abstract: o examine the impact from land model upgrades and different land initializations on the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP)?s Climate Forecast System (CFS), extensive T126 CFS experiments are carried out ...

Abstract: The soil moisture state simulated by a land surface model is a highly model-dependent quantity, meaning that the direct transfer of one model?s soil moisture into another can lead to a fundamental, and potentially detrimental, ...

Abstract: he NCEP Climate Forecast System Reanalysis (CFSR) uses the NASA Land Information System (LIS) to create its land surface analysis: the NCEP Global Land Data Assimilation System (GLDAS). Comparing to the previous two ...

Abstract: he second version of the NCEP Climate Forecast System (CFSv2) was made operational at NCEP in March 2011. This version has upgrades to nearly all aspects of the data assimilation and forecast model components of the system. ...

Abstract: The NCEP Climate Forecast System Reanalysis (CFSR) was completed for the 31-yr period from 1979 to 2009, in January 2010. The CFSR was designed and executed as a global, high-resolution coupled atmosphere?ocean?land ...
