“…For the CDP grassy meadow, the surface heat capacity is equal to the vegetation heat capacity c V . The default value of c V has been set to 5 × 10 4 J m −2 K −1 since the 1990s for numerical stability reasons in the coupling with NWP models but this is unrealistic when compared with values from the literature (Dupont et al, 2014). In the v8.0 SURFEX release (http://www.umr-cnrm.fr/surfex//spip.php?rubrique148), the current default value has been set to 10 4 J m −2 K −1 for lowlying vegetation.…”

Abstract. Physically based multilayer snowpack models suffer from various modelling errors. To represent these errors, we built the new multiphysical ensemble system ES-CROC (Ensemble System Crocus) by implementing new representations of different physical processes in the deterministic coupled multilayer ground/snowpack model SUR-FEX/ISBA/Crocus. This ensemble was driven and evaluated at Col de Porte (1325 m a.s.l., French alps) over 18 years with a high-quality meteorological and snow data set. A total number of 7776 simulations were evaluated separately, accounting for the uncertainties of evaluation data. The ability of the ensemble to capture the uncertainty associated to modelling errors is assessed for snow depth, snow water equivalent, bulk density, albedo and surface temperature. Different sub-ensembles of the ESCROC system were studied with probabilistic tools to compare their performance. Results show that optimal members of the ESCROC system are able to explain more than half of the total simulation errors. Integrating members with biases exceeding the range corresponding to observational uncertainty is necessary to obtain an optimal dispersion, but this issue can also be a consequence of the fact that meteorological forcing uncertainties were not accounted for. The ESCROC system promises the integration of numerical snow-modelling errors in ensemble forecasting and ensemble assimilation systems in support of avalanche hazard forecasting and other snowpack-modelling applications.

“…A pyrolytic process converts biomass feedstock into three classes of products: a solid (or char), a liquid (also known as bio-oil from pyrolysis or simply bio-oil), and a gas. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. Bio-oils and gases may be a suitable source for chemicals.…”
