A Hyperspectral Bidirectional Reflectance Model for Land Surface [PDF]

Sensors, 2020
A hyperspectral bidirectional reflectance (HSBR) model for land surface has been developed in this work. The HSBR model includes a very diverse land surface bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) database with ~40,000 spectra.

Development of high resolution land surface parameters for the Community Land Model [PDF]

Geoscientific Model Development, 2012
There is a growing need for high-resolution land surface parameters as land surface models are being applied at increasingly higher spatial resolution offline as well as in regional and global models.

Sensitivity Analysis of the Land Surface Characteristic Parameters in Different Climatic Regions of the Loess Plateau [PDF]

Atmosphere, 2023
Land surface parameters are crucial in land surface process model simulations. Considering the complex land surface characteristics of the Loess Plateau, a parametric sensitivity analysis was conducted to determine the key parameters of its Noah Multi ...

Enhancing the representation of subgrid land surface characteristics in land surface models [PDF]

Geoscientific Model Development, 2013
Abstract. Land surface heterogeneity has long been recognized as important to represent in the land surface models. In most existing land surface models, the spatial variability of surface cover is represented as subgrid composition of multiple surface cover types.

Advances in Land Surface Modelling [PDF]

Current Climate Change Reports, 2021
AbstractLand surface models have an increasing scope. Initially designed to capture the feedbacks between the land and the atmosphere as part of weather and climate prediction, they are now used as a critical tool in the urgent need to inform policy about land-use and water-use management in a world that is changing physically and economically.

A New Characterization of the Land Surface Heterogeneity over Africa for Use in Land Surface Models [PDF]

Journal of Hydrometeorology, 2011
AbstractInformation related to land surface is immensely important to global change science. For example, land surface changes can alter regional climate through its effects on fluxes of water, energy, and carbon. In the past decades, data sources and methodologies for characterizing land surface heterogeneity (e.g., land cover, leaf area index ...

Land-surface modelling in hydrological perspective – a review [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2006
Abstract. The purpose of this paper is to provide a review of the different types of energy-based land-surface models (LSMs) and discuss some of the new possibilities that will arise when energy-based LSMs are combined with distributed hydrological modelling.

The Plumbing of Land Surface Models: Benchmarking Model Performance [PDF]

Journal of Hydrometeorology, 2015
AbstractThe Protocol for the Analysis of Land Surface Models (PALS) Land Surface Model Benchmarking Evaluation Project (PLUMBER) was designed to be a land surface model (LSM) benchmarking intercomparison. Unlike the traditional methods of LSM evaluation or comparison, benchmarking uses a fundamentally different approach in that it sets expectations of ...
