Abstract / Description of output
Fluxes of heat and moisture over heterogeneous snow cover are studied using a boundary-layer model. The performance of a "tile" model, suitable for calculating gridbox-average surface fluxes in a GCM, is assessed in comparison with the boundary-layer model. The impact of using a tile representation for heterogeneous snow cover in a single-column version of the Hadley Centre GCM is discussed.
