The CSIRO Mk3L climate system model v1.0 coupled to the CABLE land surface scheme v1.4b: evaluation of the control climatology [PDF]
The CSIRO Mk3L climate system model, a reduced-resolution coupled general circulation model, has previously been described in this journal. The model is configured for millennium scale or multiple century scale simulations.

Characterizing natural variability in complex hydrological systems using passive microwave-based climate data records: a case study for the Okavango Delta [PDF]
The Okavango River system in southern Africa is known for its strong interannual variability of hydrological conditions. Here, we present how this is exposed in surface soil moisture, land surface temperature, and vegetation optical depth as derived from

Evaluating the JULES land surface model energy fluxes using FLUXNET data [PDF]
Surface energy flux measurements from a sample of ten FLUXNET sites selected to represent a range of climate conditions and biome types were used to assess the performance of the Hadley Centre land surface model (JULES).

Deforestation reshapes land-surface energy-flux partitioning
Land-use and land-cover change significantly modify local land-surface characteristics and water/energy exchanges, which can lead to atmospheric circulation and regional climate changes. In particular, deforestation accounts for a large portion of global

Evaluation of snow cover and depth simulated by a land-surface model using detailed regional snow observations from Austria [PDF]
An evaluation is undertaken of the accuracy with which the Joint UK Land Environment Simulator (JULES) can simulate snow cover and depth when driven using data from the Hadley Centre Regional Climate Model.

Atmosphere-only GCM (ACCESS1.0) simulations with prescribed land surface temperatures [PDF]
General circulation models (GCMs) are valuable tools for understanding how the global ocean–atmosphere–land surface system interacts and are routinely evaluated relative to observational data sets.
