ABSTRACT
The University of California, Davis, Advanced Canopy-Atmosphere-Soil Algorithm (ACASA) is coupled to the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University-National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Mesoscale Model (MM5) as a land surface scheme. Simulations for July 1998 over western North America show that this coupling, the first between a mesoscale model and a land surface model of this complexity, is successful. Comparisons among model output, National Centers for Environmental Prediction-NCAR reanalysis fields, and station data show that MM5-ACASA generally reproduces near-surface temperature in a realistic fashion, but with a stronger diurnal cycle than observations ...
