N-LDAS meetings

N-LDAS meeting at OH, NOV 14, 2001

  • Forcing Validation using Oklahoma Mesonet data. The major variables (precipitation, shortwave radiation, surface pressure, air temperature and wind speed) have been compared with the Oklahoma Mesonet observations at the grids where the stations are located.
  • Test run of Oklahoma Mesonet forcing with VIC model Two months simulations driven by the forcing generated from Oklahoma Mesonet observations from VIC model are shown here. VIC has show numerical instability when the local precipitation is very large, e.g. APAC,NORM.
  • LDAS Oklahoma Mesonet forcing is ready to use.
  • MOSAIC output is currectly under analysis.
  • We now have only the daily averaged time series at all the Mesonet stations available. Realtime model output viewer of several models outputs. (in progress for improvement)

N-LDAS Teleconference, NOV 28, 2001

  • The soil temperature from Mosaic.
    The soil temperature from MOSAIC has a low bias during winter time, even though we do not know which depth this soil temperature was originally validated against, but it is a "deep layer soil temperature".
  • NOAH and SAC model output are not ready yet. Hopefully, we will get them by next meeting.
  • ARM/CART sites will be added to the new forcing data to validate the fluxes.
