Effective parameters for surface heat fluxes in heterogeneous terrain

Approaches for Aggregating Heterogeneous Surface Parameters and Fluxes for Mesoscale and Climate Models

Land surface and climate processes possess dynamics and heterogeneities across a wide range of scales. This study explores the utility of, and procedures for, using local scale measurements to obtain large-scale information. An aggregation scheme is proposed to bridge the scale gap between the scale of measurements including remote sensors and climate and mesoscale models. The proposed scheme d...

Evaluation of Surface Fluxes in the WRF Model: Case Study for Farmland in Rolling Terrain

The partitioning of available energy into surface sensible and latent heat fluxes impacts the accuracy of simulated near surface temperature and humidity in numerical weather prediction models. This case study evaluates the performance of the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model on the simulation of surface heat fluxes using field observations collected from a surface flux tower in Oreg...
