Journal ArticleDOI
The Joint UK Land Environment Simulator (JULES), model description – Part 1: Energy and water fluxes
Martin Best,M. Pryor,Douglas B. Clark,G. G. Rooney,Richard Essery,Cécile B. Ménard,John M. Edwards,Margaret Hendry,Aurore Porson,Nicola Gedney,Lina M. Mercado,Stephen Sitch,Eleanor Blyth,Olivier Boucher,Olivier Boucher,Peter M. Cox,C. S. B. Grimmond,Richard Harding +17 more
TL;DR: The Joint UK Land Environment Simulator (JULES) as discussed by the authors is developed from the Met Office Surface Exchange Scheme (MOSES) and can be used as a stand alone land surface model driven by observed forcing data, or coupled to an atmospheric global circulation model.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Joint UK Land Environment Simulator (JULES), model description – Part 2: Carbon fluxes and vegetation dynamics
Douglas B. Clark,Lina M. Mercado,Stephen Sitch,C. D. Jones,Nicola Gedney,Martin Best,M. Pryor,G. G. Rooney,Richard Essery,Eleanor Blyth,Olivier Boucher,Olivier Boucher,Richard Harding,Chris Huntingford,Peter M. Cox +14 more
TL;DR: The Joint UK Land Environment Simulator (JULES) is a process-based model that simulates the fluxes of carbon, water, energy and momentum between the land surface and the atmosphere as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of changes in diffuse radiation on the global land carbon sink
Lina M. Mercado,Nicolas Bellouin,Stephen Sitch,Olivier Boucher,Chris Huntingford,Martin Wild,Peter M. Cox +6 more
TL;DR: The authors used the HadGEM2-A general circulation model to simulate the effect of late twentieth century "global dimming" and associated increases in the diffuse radiation fraction on global carbon storage.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chris Huntingford,Przemyslaw Zelazowski,David W. Galbraith,David W. Galbraith,Lina M. Mercado,Stephen Sitch,Stephen Sitch,Rosie A. Fisher,Mark R. Lomas,Anthony P. Walker,Chris D. Jones,Ben B. B. Booth,Yadvinder Malhi,Debbie Hemming,Gillian Kay,Peter Good,Simon L. Lewis,Simon L. Lewis,Oliver L. Phillips,Owen K. Atkin,Jon Lloyd,Jon Lloyd,Emanuel Gloor,Joana Zaragoza-Castells,Patrick Meir,Patrick Meir,Richard Betts,Phil Harris,Carlos A. Nobre,José A. Marengo,Peter M. Cox +30 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an exploration of results from 22 climate models in conjunction with a land surface scheme suggests that the resilience of tropical forests to climate change is higher than expected, although uncertainties are large.
Journal ArticleDOI
A roadmap for improving the representation of photosynthesis in Earth system models
Alistair Rogers,Belinda E. Medlyn,Jeffrey S. Dukes,Gordon B. Bonan,Susanne von Caemmerer,Michael Dietze,Jens Kattge,Andrew D. B. Leakey,Lina M. Mercado,Ülo Niinemets,I. Colin Prentice,I. Colin Prentice,Shawn P. Serbin,Stephen Sitch,Danielle A. Way,Danielle A. Way,Sönke Zaehle +16 more
TL;DR: This work compared the representation of photosynthesis in seven TBMs by examining leaf and canopy level responses of photosynthetic CO2 assimilation to key environmental variables: light, temperature, CO2 concentration, vapor pressure deficit and soil water content.
