4 Land Surface Models: Summary Land surface models have been used as stand-alone eco-hydrology models or as boundary conditions for atmospheric and hydrology models Land surface models exist within a wide spectrum of complexity Land surface models can be broken down into two parts: Physics: approximating the complex real world by a set of physically-based (hopefully) equations Parameters: adapts the approximated physics to work for heterogeneous surfaces (vegetation/soil/etc.) More complex physics tends to produce more parameters Current generation LSMs aim to improve surface representation especially when significant heterogeneities exist provide land surface process-level information (e.g., multiple surface temperatures) to an expanding user base test multiple process representations in one model 4

6 Noah and Noah-MP LSM Structure Comparison Absorbed SW Sensible Heat O O M M N N Jan 2007 Comparison of observed (O), Noah (N), and Noah-MP (M). Noah has less absorbed solar radiation resulting in colder surface and lower (or negative) sensible heat flux Chen, et al. 2014
7 Noah-MP: a community land model
8 Noah-MP Physical Processes Noah-MP is a land surface model that allows a user to choose multiple options for several physical processes θ atm SH veg θ atm SH bare Canopy radiative transfer with shading geometry Separate vegetation canopy Dynamic vegetation Vegetation canopy resistance Multi-layer snowpack Snowpack liquid water retention Simple groundwater options Snow albedo treatment New frozen soil scheme New snow cover θ leaf θ canopy θ gv Vegetated θ gb Unvegetated

10 Noah-MP Physical Processes Noah-MP is a land surface model that allows a user to choose multiple options for several physical processes snow on canopy Canopy radiative transfer with shading geometry Separate vegetation canopy Dynamic vegetation Vegetation canopy resistance Multi-layer snowpack Snowpack liquid water retention Simple groundwater options Snow albedo treatment New frozen soil scheme New snow cover 4-layer soil 3-layer snow aquifer

12 Noah-MP Physical Processes Noah-MP is a land surface model that allows a user to choose multiple options for several physical processes SW dn Canopy radiative transfer with shading geometry Separate vegetation canopy Dynamic vegetation Vegetation canopy resistance Multi-layer snowpack Snowpack liquid water retention Simple groundwater options Snow albedo treatment New frozen soil scheme New snow cover shaded fraction
13 Noah-MP: more physics, more parameters Noah-MP has a separate canopy and uses a two-stream radiative transfer treatment through the canopy Canopy parameters: Canopy top and bottom Crown radius, vertical and horizontal Vegetation element density, i.e., trees/grass leaves per unit area Leaf and stem area per unit area Leaf orientation Leaf reflectance and transmittance for direct/diffuse and visible/nir radiation Multiple options for spatial distribution Full grid coverage Vegetation cover equals prescribed fractional vegetation Random distribution with slant shading SW dn shaded fraction
14 More modelistic view of Noah-MP Direct (visible,nir) θ z Diffuse (visible,nir) Reflectance and transmittance of individual leaf elements defined by vegetation type ρ L (VIS/NIR) LAI SAI τ L (VIS/NIR)
15 What interesting things can we do? Over a Noah- MP grid, individual tree elements can be randomly distributed and have overlapping shadows SE Minnesota in Google Maps
16 What does that mean visually? SW dn SW dn Option 1 Option 2 shaded fraction shaded fraction
17 Noah-MP LSM Options Using prescribed vegetation fraction varying from 5% to 100% as radiation fraction Increasing vegetation fraction increases snow, decreases albedo SW dn Option 1 shaded fraction
18 Noah-MP LSM Options Using randomly distributed shadows as radiation-active fraction using sun angle Complex interaction between vegetated and shadowed fraction and canopy/snow radiation absorption SW dn Option 2 shaded fraction
19 Key Input to the Noah-MP LSM Land-cover/vegetation classification Many sources, generally satellite-based and general Soil texture class Also general with large consolidations Many secondary parameters that can be specified as function of the above

26 Conclusions Land surface models are evolving to address structural deficiencies and to expand user bases Evolving land surface model structure is leading to new challenges, e.g., parameters, parameters! Knowledge of both model structure and parameter assumptions is useful to properly use an LSM Continued progress is being made on extensions to Noah-MP: crop and dynamic vegetation modules, urban coupling, parameter estimation 26
