- Description
- Because weather and climate near the land surface influence most of our social and economic activities, realistic simulation of continental near-surface climate is important for day-to-day decision-making and for policy development relating to – for example – climate change. The need for correct and validated land-surface processes in atmospheric simulations, acknowledged by many scientists in the past few decades, has prompted the development of a large number of land-surface parameterization schemes with varying degrees of complexity designed to improve the prediction of near-surface climate in global atmospheric models. The Project for Intercomparison on Land-Surface Parameterization Schemes (PILPS) offers a methodology for intercomparing and analyzing land-surface simulations that benefits the atmospheric modeling community worldwide.
