2-way coupling the hydrological land surface model PROMET with the regional climate model MM5

The coupling of the Common Land Model (CLM0) to a regional climate model (RegCM)

We replace the existing land surface parameterization scheme, the Biosphere-Atmosphere Transfer Scheme (BATS), in a regional climate model (RegCM) with the newly developed Common Land Model (CLM0). The main improvements of CLM0 include a detailed 10-layer soil model, the distinction between soil ice and water phases, a linked photosynthesis-stomatal conductance model, a multilayer snow model, a...

Coupling of Atmospheric Model MM5 and Land Surface Model SOLVEG by Exchanging Data with MPI on Their Independent Parallel Calculations

Coupling a distributed grid based hydrological model and MM5 meteorological model for flooding alert mapping

The increased number of extreme rainfall events seems to be one of the common feature of climate change signal all over the world (Easterlin et al., 2000; Meehl et al., 2000). In the last few years a large number of floods caused by extreme meteorological events has been observed over the river basins of Mediterranean area and they mainly affected small basins (few hundreds until few thousands ...

Hydrological model coupling with ANNs

There is an increasing need for model coupling. However, model coupling is complicated. Scientists develop and improve models to represent physical processes occurring in nature. These models are built in different software programs required to run the model. A software program or application represents part of the system knowledge. This knowledge is however encapsulated in the program and ofte...

The Land Surface Climatology of the Community Land Model Coupled to the NCAR Community Climate Model*

The land surface parameterization used with the community climate model (CCM3) and the climate system model (CSM1), the National Center for Atmospheric Research land surface model (NCAR LSM1), has been modified as part of the development of the next version of these climate models. This new model is known as the community land model (CLM2). In CLM2, the surface is represented by five primary su...
