TL;DR: SURFEX as mentioned in this paper is an externalized land and ocean surface platform that describes the surface fluxes and the evolution of four types of surfaces: nature, town, inland water and ocean.
Journal ArticleDOI
Natural land carbon dioxide exchanges in the ECMWF integrated forecasting system: Implementation and offline validation
Souhail Boussetta,Gianpaolo Balsamo,Anton Beljaars,Anna‐Agusti Panareda,Jean-Christophe Calvet,Cor Jacobs,Bart van den Hurk,Pedro Viterbo,Sébastien Lafont,Emanuel Dutra,Lionel Jarlan,Manuela Balzarolo,Dario Papale,Guido R. van der Werf +13 more
TL;DR: In this article, the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts land surface model has been extended to include a carbon dioxide module, which is designed for the numerical weather prediction (NWP) environment where it benefits from good quality meteorological input (i.e., radiation, temperature, and soil moisture).
Journal ArticleDOI
Importance of vegetation feedbacks in doubled‐CO2 climate experiments
Hervé Douville,Serge Planton,Jean-François Royer,David B. Stephenson,S. Tyteca,Laurent Kergoat,Sébastien Lafont,R. A. Betts +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the impact of changes in the physiology (stomatal resistance) and structure (leaf area index) of plants on the global and regional response of CO2 doubling.
Journal ArticleDOI
Verification of the new ECMWF ERA-Interim reanalysis over France
Camille Szczypta,Jean-Christophe Calvet,Clément Albergel,Gianpaolo Balsamo,Souhail Boussetta,Dominique Carrer,Sébastien Lafont,Catherine Meurey +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an evaluation of the global ECMWF atmospheric reanalysis ERA-Interim (with a 0.5° grid) is performed over France, based on the high resolution (8 km) SAFRAN atmospheric re-analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assimilation of Soil Wetness Index and Leaf Area Index into the ISBA-A-gs land surface model: grassland case study
Alina Barbu,Jean-Christophe Calvet,Jean-François Mahfouf,Clément Albergel,Clément Albergel,Sébastien Lafont +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of the joint assimilation in a land surface model of a Soil Wetness Index (SWI) product provided by an exponential filter together with leaf area index (LAI) is investigated.
