Summary
Our CCPP/SciDAC
project has focused on the physical and computational issues of including
heterogeneities in the climate treatment of land atmosphere coupling. Such
heterogeneities come from either atmospheric or surface details. The
objectives of this project are to: (i) provide to
the community improvements to the CLM package for column land dynamics in
CCSM; (ii) further develop a comprehensive package for scaling between local
land columns and the CAM grid
squares; (iii) integrate the CLM coupled to CAM
to test the improvements provided by higher resolutions and to study the
dynamics of the coupling to the climate system of surface hydrology, that is
soil moisture, evapotranspiration and runoff; and
(iv) develop a new approach to parameterizing
convection to improve the coupling between land and atmosphere.
