Parameterization improvements and functional and structural advances in version 4 of the Community Land Model

TL;DR: The Community Land Model (CLM) as discussed by the authors is the land component of the Community Climate System Model (CCSM) and has been extended with a carbon-nitrogen (CN) biogeochemical model that is prognostic with respect to vegetation, litter, and soil carbon and nitrogen states.
Journal ArticleDOI

Improvements to the Community Land Model and their impact on the hydrological cycle

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the implementation of a selected set of these parameterizations and their effects on the simulated hydrological cycle, and the results from a set of offline simulations were compared with observed data for runoff, river discharge, soil moisture, and total water storage.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Community Land Model version 5 : description of new features, benchmarking, and impact of forcing uncertainty

David M. Lawrence, +60 more
TL;DR: The Community Land Model (CLM) is the land component of the Community Earth System Model (CESM) and is used in several global and regional modeling systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Improving canopy processes in the Community Land Model version 4 (CLM4) using global flux fields empirically inferred from FLUXNET data

TL;DR: In this article, the Community Land Model version 4 (CLM4) overestimates gross primary production (GPP) compared with data-driven estimates and other process models, and the authors investigate differences in GPP and latent heat flux arising from model parameterizations (termed model structural error) and from uncertainty in the photosynthetic parameter Vcmax.
Journal ArticleDOI

Representing a new MODIS consistent land surface in the Community Land Model (CLM 3.0)

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed new CLM 3.0 land surface parameters that reproduce the physical properties described in the MODIS land surface data while maintaining the multiple Plant Functional Type (PFT) canopy and herbaceous layer representation used in CLM.
