Project Goals
•investigate the sensitivity of the
uncoupled catchment model, and fully-coupled climate model simulations, to initial land surface conditions.
•Emphasis:
•seasonal-to-interannual time
scales
•soil moisture/soil wetness conditions;
•current and near-future
remotely-sensed data;
Objective 1
•forcing data set development and
testing
Objective 2
•sensitivity experiments to initial
land surface states
