Item Atmospheric modeling and integration between meteorology and hydrology(GLOWA, 2002-04) D Burose,; Friesen, J.; Intsiful, J.; Jung, G.; Kunstmann, H.; Moene, A.; Oguntunde, Philip G.; Van de Giesen, N.Understanding feedback mechanisms between atmosphere and land surface is crucial for predicting impact of global change on the regional hydrological cycle. Unfortunately, meteorological models have different scales than hydrological land surface models, which hinders feedback analysis. Results from innovative field measurements (scintillometry) are presented that help integrate hydrology and meteorology by bridging this scale gap. Subsequently, the operationalization of the MM5 meteorological model is described. Numerical experimentation with MM5 shows that changes in land surface properties do have large feedback effects on regional circulation patterns.
