摘要: Abstract The Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment/Climate Variability Predictability (GEWEX/CLIVAR) Land–Atmosphere Coupling Experiment (GLACE) has provided an estimate of the global distribution land–atmosphere coupling strength during boreal summer based on results from a dozen weather climate models. However, there is great deal variation among models, attributable to range sensitivities in simulation both terrestrial atmospheric branches hydrologic cycle. It remains open question whether any or multimodel estimate, reflects actual pattern earth’s authors attempt diagnose this by examining local covariability key land surface variables models those few locations where comparable, relatively complete, long-term measurements exist. Most do not encompass well observed relationships between a...
