Land Surface Hydrological Models

    Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

    Abstract

    The details of land-surface models (LSMs) are presented here from the perspective of providing the proper boundary condition to and interaction with a " parent” atmospheric model. Topics include atmospheric forcing to LSMs, land data sets, surface-layer turbulence, surface fluxes and energy and water budgets, land-surface physics, and the role of the land states and surface fluxes in local land- atmosphere interaction. Connections of LSMs with hydrological models (e.g., saturated zone or groundwater, and streamflow or river-routing) and land data assimilation are outside the scope of this chapter.
