Predicting Impacts of Land-Surface Processes on Regional Weather
Challenge
To improve deficiencies identified in treating interactions among vegetation, soil, hydrology, snow, and long-term soil state evolution in the current Noah Land Surface Model.
Solution
NOAH Multi-Parameterization Land Surface Model
NCAR is collaborating on the development of the advanced Noah-MP land surface model (LSM) which uses multiple physics options for key land-hydrology processes.
Benefits
This technology is an important component of advanced weather and hydrological prediction.
