Land Surface Modeling: A Mini-Workshop

2. Workshop Agenda

Overviews
R. Dickinson (physical science perspective)
J. Foley (biological science perspective)
 
Traditional land surface modeling: SVATS
R. Koster (subgrid variability, topography in LS models)
C. Rosenzweig (GISS land surface model)
G. Bonan (NCAR, LSM perspective)
M. Stieglitz (modeling snow in land surface models)
