Modeling Profiles of Micrometeorological Variables in a Tropical Premontane Rainforest Using Multi‐Layered CLM (CLM‐ML)

Abstract This study updates the multi‐layered Community Land Model (CLM‐ml) for hillslopes and compares predictions from against observations collected in tropical montane rainforest, Costa Rica. Modifications are made in order to capture a wider array of vertical leaf area distributions, predict CO...
