Aerosol climatology Emissivity Vegetation climatology (LAI, PLCOV) Minimum stomatal resistance Non-uniform root distribution Ground water with upward diffusion Soil moisture dependent heat conductivity Tested adaptions in int2lm and TERRA EXP 7224
Verification 7224
Result: less evapotranspiration, dry and warm PBL Reason ? : Tested combination of external parameters and TERRA adaptions could lead to increase in PRS/LAI ratio SMA tries to compensate T2M-Bias, wet soil Conclusions of EXP 7224
Adaptions in external parameters of COSMO Experiment 7224: aerosol + TERRA adaptions, June 2009 Result: Increase in soil moisture, Bowen ratio, and T2M Experiment 7533: Test of PRS_MIN(x,y) impact EXP 7224 setup with 0.5* PRS_MIN(x,y) Global Tests (GME) with different landuse parameters (look up tables) Status
