Emergent surface water dynamics across wetlandscapes in the NOAA GFDL Land Model

Other · March 14, 2026 Wetlands play a critical role in regulating hydrologic, energetic, and biogeochemical processes across landscapes. Yet Earth System Models (ESMs) remain unable to represent one of their defining physical features: shallow surface-water ponding. Bec ... Full text Cite

An introduction to the EarthRes program

Other · March 14, 2026 The High-Resolution Earth System Modeling, Analysis and Prediction for a Society Resilient to Hydrometeorological Hazards (EarthRes) is a program of the International Decade of Sciences for Sustainable Development (IDSSD), endorsed by UNESCO in 202 ... Full text Cite

Analysis of hydrological spatial and temporal characteristic scales over the Contiguous United States using GOES-16 Land Surface Temperature retrievals

Other · June 28, 2022 Land surface features such as elevation, soils, land use, and vegetation fluctuate on scales ranging from millimeters to hundreds of kilometers. The state of the land surface and many hydrological processes vary accordingly. Land ... Full text Cite

Capturing the Effects of Surface Flux Heterogeneity on the Lower Sub-grid Atmosphere in Earth System Models with a Multi-Column Approach

Other · December 6, 2021 Earth System Models (ESMs) traditionally operate at large horizontal resolutions, on the order of 100 km, which can obscure the effects of smaller scale heterogeneity. When examining land surface states and fluxes in ESMs, one common approach to mi ... Full text Cite
