abstract land surface hydrological models has importance in the determination of soil moisture and temperature, the rate of evapotranspiration, stream flow by emphasis on the land surface physical and dynamic process descriptions. in this research, vic land surface hydrological model has been used for the land surface temperature and stream flow determination. the vic runoff simulation in each ...

A grid network version of the two-layer Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC-2L) macroscale hydrological model is described. The VIC-2L model is a hydrologically-based SVAT (Soil Vegetation Atmospheric Transfer) scheme designed to represent the land surface in numerical weather prediction and climate models. It is coupled to a linear routing scheme which is optimized with measured precipitation ...

Vegetative incompatibility in fungi has long been known to reduce the transmission of viruses between individuals, but the barrier to transmission is incomplete. In replicated laboratory assays, we showed conclusively that the transmission of viruses between individuals of the chestnut blight fungus Cryphonectria parasitica is controlled primarily by vegetative incompatibility (vic) genes. By r...

Doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) based wind turbines with traditional maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control provide no inertia response under system frequency events. Recently, the DFIG wind turbines have been equipped with virtual inertia controller (VIC) for supporting power system frequency stability. However, the conventional VICs with fixed gain have negative effects on inter-ar...

A recently published paper by Roads et al (2003) describing the GCIP Water and Energy Balance Synthesis (WEBS) showed that the Variable Infiltration Capacity model (VIC) model under-simulates “observations” of net solar radiation by an average of 50 w/m in the summer months of 19961999 over the Mississippi basin. The net solar radiation “observations” used by Roads et al (2003) are a GOES-based...

This paper presents two recent improvements on the current version of the three-layer variable infiltration capacity (VIC-3L) model. One is to include the infiltration excess runoff generation mechanism in the variable infiltration capacity (VIC) by considering effects of subgrid spatial soil heterogeneities, which is consistent with the VIC’s earlier subgrid spatial variability treatment for t...
