Abstract

The general performance of the weather research and forecast (WRF)/Noah land surface model (LSM) coupled models was evaluated and the impact of land surface heterogeneity on coupled WRF model simulations was studied. For these verifications, the surface observations from the International H2O Project 2002 (IHOP) field experiment were used. The WRF performance heavily depends on the variation of the soil moisture during the entire period of integration for particular sites. The results show that the model simulates the diurnal cycle and aids in capturing the heterogeneity in surface heat fluxes among different IHOP stations.
