Land Surface Processes in Atmospheric General Circulation Models
“Land Surface Processes in Atmospheric General Circulation Models” by P. S. Eagleson is a reissue published by Cambridge University Press on February 17, 2011. This comprehensive volume spans 572 pages and is presented in English. It compiles papers from the World Climate Research Programme study conference on land surface processes, which took place in Greenbelt, Maryland, in January 1981.
Readers will find a detailed examination of the sensitivity of atmospheric general circulation models to hydrology and other land surface processes. The book assesses the current state of numerical modeling in these areas and offers recommendations for future research activities. It also establishes data requirements essential for the initialization, validation, and parameter evaluation of these models. This work is relevant for professionals in atmospheric science, soil physics, hydrology, and climatology, providing insights into the intricate relationships between land surface processes and atmospheric dynamics.
