Estimation of radiation, heat, and water exchange between steppe ecosystems and the atmosphere in the SWAP model Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • The ability of the SWAP (Soil Water-Atmosphere-Plants) land surface model to reproduce heat and moisture transfer in natural and agricultural steppe ecosystems is examined. The study is based on hourly net radiation data, hourly turbulent sensible and latent heat fluxes, and the land surface characteristics derived in the course of the Southern Great Plains 1997 (SGP97) Hydrology Experiment performed in 1997 in prairies located in the Southern Great Plains (Oklahoma). 2004 by MAIK "Nauka/Interperiodica" (Russia).
