Testing the VB95 Land Surface Model Against Catchment Runoff
نویسندگان
چکیده
The land surface model developed by Viterbo and Beljaars (VB95) is used in the numerical weather prediction and climate models of the Australian Bureau of Meteorology. At present the operational weather forecasting system routinely simulates runoff for each grid cell. While these simulations potentially have value for various applications, the ability of the land surface model and forecast system to simulate runoff has not been tested. This paper describes offline testing of the hydrological component of VB95.

Assessment of the influence of land use data on the water balance components of a peri-urban catchment using a distributed modelling approach
This paper addresses the impact of the source and processing method of land use information for hydrological simulations on the long-term water balance of the Yzeron peri-urban catchment (150 km), located near Lyon, France. A customised version of the distributed hydrological model J2000 was used to perform simulations at a daily time step. Five land use data sets obtained from aerial photograp...
متن کاملThe community Noah land surface model with multiparameterization options (Noah‐MP): 2. Evaluation over global river basins
[1] The augmented Noah land surface model described in the first part of the two‐part series was evaluated here over global river basins. Across various climate zones, global‐scale tests can reveal a model’s weaknesses and strengths that a local‐scale testing cannot. In addition, global‐scale tests are more challenging than local‐ and catchment‐scale tests. Given constant model parameters (e. g...
متن کاملProcess-oriented Investigation of Snow Accumulation, Snowmelt and Runoff Generation in Forested Sites in Finland
This thesis summarises development and application of a hydrological model for simulating forest canopy processes, snow accumulation and melt, soil and ground water interactions, and streamflow routing. A motivation behind the model development is to outline a methodology for predicting the influence of land use changes on catchment hydrological processes. In addition, the development aims at p...
متن کاملIntroducing suitable places for establishing rainwater catchment systems in Latyan Watershed
Arid and semi-arid regions with highly variable rainfall and periods of drought or unpredictable floods have severely affected residents' water shortages and they are often living in insecure areas. Rainwater catchment systems are one of the available solutions to overcome water shortage and runoff management in these areas. Surface runoff is a potential source of water that, with proper manage...
متن کاملEvaluation of global continental hydrology as simulated by the Land-surface Processes and eXchanges Dynamic Global Vegetation Model
Global freshwater resources are sensitive to changes in climate, land cover and population density and distribution. The Land-surface Processes and eXchanges Dynamic Global Vegetation Model is a recent development of the Lund-Potsdam-Jena model with improved representation of fire-vegetation interactions. It allows simultaneous consideration of the effects of changes in climate, CO2 concentrati...
