      Conference report
      Open Access
      Ideally, numerical weather prediction (NWP) and climate models should include a proper representation of the land surface to correctly simulate the surface energy fluxes and, ultimately, provide successful forecasts of ...

      Article
      Open Access
      The water and energy transfers at the interface between the Earth’s surface and the atmosphere should be correctly simulated in numerical weather and climate models. This implies the need for a realistic and accurate ...

      Due to the major role of the sun in heating the earth’s surface, the atmospheric planetary boundary layer over land is inherently marked by a diurnal cycle. The after-noon transition, the period of the day that connects ...
