Evaluation of Snow Depth and Soil Temperatures Predicted by the Hydro-Thermodynamic Soil-Vegetation Scheme Coupled with the Fifth-Generation Pennsylvania State University-NCAR Mesoscale Model
|
ABSTRACT
The Hydro-Thermodynamic Soil-Vegetation Scheme (HTSVS) coupled in a two-way mode with the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University-National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Mesoscale Meteorological Model (MM5) is evaluated for a typical snowmelt episode in the Baltic region by means of observations at 25 soil temperature, 355 snow-depth, and 344 precipitation sites that have, in total, 1000, 1775, and 1720 measurements, respectively. The performance with respect to...
