| Abstract | The characteristics of satellite-derived landcover data for climate models vary depending on sensor properties and processing options. To better understand the first order effects of differences in landcover data on a land surface parameterization scheme (VBATS), stand-alone model runs were performed for two adjacent 2.8/spl deg/ by 2.8/spl deg/ GCM gridcells in Wyoming using landcover from two satellite-derived maps (AVHRR, TM) and a global landcover data set commonly used in GCMs. Substantial differences in prescribed landcover were found between the three datasets. Despite these differences, the VBATS simulated surface fluxes were similar in the eastern gridcell for the two satellite data sets. In the western gridcell, the partitioning of net radiation into sensible and latent heat fluxes was affected by the relative proportions of wet cover types (i.e. inland water and irrigated crop) prescribed by the two satellite data sets. This emphasizes the importance of accurately estimating the proportion of wet cover types within a GCM gridcell in arid regions. Spatial aggregation of the satellite data sets reduced the number of cover types used to represent each GCM gridcell. In the western gridcell, a reduction in the number of cover types from 11 to 2 resulted in differences in annual averages of sensible and latent heat fluxes of about 10%. Other simulations involving these data sets suggest that these differences could be reduced if the wet cover types are accounted for. In this respect, fine spatial resolution information is required for some cover types whereas coarser resolution may be adequate for other types. Landcover classifications for land surface modeling need to be based more on model sensitivities than on traditional vegetation-type schemes. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
