Variational assimilation of land surface temperature within the ORCHIDEE Land Surface Model Version 1.2.6 [PDF]
The SECHIBA module of the ORCHIDEE land surface model describes the exchanges of water and energy between the surface and the atmosphere. In the present paper, the adjoint semi-generator software called YAO was used as a framework to implement a 4D-VAR ...

Implementation of sequential cropping into JULESvn5.2 land-surface model [PDF]
Land-surface models (LSMs) typically simulate a single crop per year in a field or location. However, actual cropping systems are characterized by a succession of distinct crop cycles that are sometimes interspersed with long periods of bare soil ...

Evaluating a land surface model at a water-limited site: implications for land surface contributions to droughts and heatwaves [PDF]
Land surface models underpin coupled climate model projections of droughts and heatwaves. However, the lack of simultaneous observations of individual components of evapotranspiration, concurrent with root-zone soil moisture, has limited previous model ...

Impacts of Spectral Nudging Parameters on Dynamical Downscaling in Summer over Mainland China
Spectral nudging is an important method of improving the effectiveness of dynamical downscaling in the Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF). However, spectral nudging is sensitive to nudging parameters, and most related research has typically ...
