• Developing a monthly radiative kernel for surface albedo change from satellite climatologies of Earth's shortwave radiation budget: CACK v1.0 

      Bright, Ryan M.; O'Halloran, Thomas L. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-09-09)
      Due to the potential for land-use–land-cover change (LULCC) to alter surface albedo, there is need within the LULCC science community for simple and transparent tools for predicting radiative forcings (ΔF) from surface ...
    • Evaluation of leaf-level optical properties employed in land surface models 

      Majasalmi, Titta; Bright, Ryan M. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-09-05)
      Vegetation optical properties have a direct impact on canopy absorption and scattering and are thus needed for modeling surface fluxes. Although plant functional type (PFT) classification varies between different land ...
    • The global water resources and use model WaterGAP v2.2d: model description and evaluation 

      Schmied, Hannes Müller; Caceres, Denise; Eisner, Stephanie; Flörke, Martina; Herbert, Claudia; Niemann, Christoph; Peiris, Thedini Asali; Popat, Eklavyya; Portmann, Felix Theodor; Reinecke, Robert; Schumacher, Maike; Shadkam, Somayeh; Telteu, Camelia-Eliza; Trautmann, Tim; Döll, Petra (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-02-23)
      WaterGAP is a global hydrological model that quantifies human use of groundwater and surface water as well as water flows and water storage and thus water resources on all land areas of the Earth. Since 1996, it has served ...
    • ORCHIDEE-PEAT (revision 4596), a model for northern peatland CO2, water, and energy fluxes on daily to annual scales

      Peatlands store substantial amounts of carbon and are vulnerable to climate change. We present a modified version of the Organising Carbon and Hydrology In Dynamic Ecosystems (ORCHIDEE) land surface model for simulating ...
