A generalization of the single soil layer variable infiltration capacity (VIC) land surface hydrological model previously implemented in Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory general circulation (GCM) is described. The new comprised a two‐layer characterization column, and uses an aerodynamic representation latent sensible heat fluxes at surface. algorithm for upper essentially same as VIC model, while lower drainage formulation form Max‐Planck‐Institut GCM. partitions area interest (e.g.,...

Abstract Drainage basins in many parts of the world are ungauged or poorly gauged, and some cases existing measurement networks declining. The problem is compounded by impacts human-induced changes to land surface climate, occurring at local, regional global scales. Predictions gauged under these conditions highly uncertain. IAHS Decade on Ungauged Basins, PUB, a new initiative launched International Association Hydrological Sciences (IAHS), aimed formulating implementing appropriate science...

A grid network version of the two‐layer variable infiltration capacity (VIC‐2L) macroscale hydrologic model is described. VIC‐2L a hydrologically based soil‐ vegetation‐atmosphere transfer scheme designed to represent land surface in numerical weather prediction and climate models. The allows streamflow be predicted for large continental rivers.

The two‐layer variable infiltration capacity (VIC‐2L) model is extended to incorporate a representation of subgrid variability in precipitation, using an analytical one‐dimensional statistical dynamic for partial area coverage precipitation. approach allows the effects subgrid‐scale spatial precipitation on surface fluxes, runoff production, and soil moisture be represented explicitly. With this method, spatially integrated representations runoff, due infiltration, vegetation cover are...

Abstract. Land-surface models (LSMs) are increasingly called upon to represent not only the exchanges of energy, water and momentum across land–atmosphere interface (their original purpose in climate models), but also how ecosystems resources respond climate, atmospheric environment, land-use change, these responses turn influence fluxes carbon dioxide (CO2), trace gases other species that affect composition chemistry atmosphere. However, LSMs embedded state-of-the-art differ they...

This paper describes a new parameterization to represent surface and groundwater interaction dynamics for land models. With the parameterization, effects of interactions on soil moisture, evapotranspiration, runoff, recharge can be dynamically taken into account.

▪ Abstract Recent increased interest in the role of land surface weather and climate, including impacts due to climate change, has resulted hydrologic models that incorporate processes which describe exchange water energy at Earth's surface. The development a grid-based hydrological model with full soil-vegetation-atmospheric-transfer (SVAT) parameterization is summarized. suitable both for simulating continental-scale river basins high temporal spatial resolutions as atmospheric general...

A new ground heat flux parameterization for land surface schemes, such as those used in climate and numerical weather prediction models, is described. Compared with other approaches that lump the canopy layer surface, or empirically based consider effect of radiation attenuation through layer, has several advantages. First, reduction available conducting soil exchange under vegetated areas represented a manner assures conserved long term. Second, problems representing properly phase are...

Abstract Rainfall runoff and leaching are the main driving forces that nitrogen, an important non‐point source (NPS) pollutant, enters streams, lakes, groundwater. Hydrological transport processes thus play a pivotal role in NPS nitrogen pollution. Existing hydro‐environmental models for pollution often over‐simplify within‐watershed processes. It is unclear how such simplification affects assessment regarding formation distribution of denitrification hot spots—which design land‐based...
