AB: The Community Land Model (CLM) can be used to examine the physical, chemical, and biological processes through which terrestrial ecosystems affect and are affected by climate. CLM simulates the hydrological cycle and surface energy budgets using water and energy balance approaches. CLM's outputs include soil moisture, latent and sensible heat fluxes, and surface temperature. The Soil Moisture Experiment 2003 (SMEX03) was conducted to provide validation data satellite and aircraft based microwave remote sensing instruments. As part of the SMEX03 experiment, soil moisture, surface temperature, and vegetation data were collected in the Little River watershed, GA. Eddy flux stations measured energy fluxes at three sites with distinct vegetation characteristics. This study compares the CLM's biogeophysical and hydrological outputs to measured soil moisture and energy flux data.
