Dear Libin Yan,

I have done some soil moisture sensitivity runs. This involves altering the field capacity of soil moisture within the BATS scheme. There are 3 soil layers that I have been changing the content levels from wilting to saturation values and assess the model's response. I have approached it from letting the experiments being interactive as well as fixing the soil moisture content throughout my runs. Of course you can approach from the vegetation aspect as well which I am not doing at the moment. Look for papers by Pal, Eltahir, Schar, Severnirate, Wang, Shuklar, Fan, Grimm etc. All the best.

Hi, Dear RegCMers,

I have read some papers about Soil moisture sensitivity run, and encountered some puzzles.

In some papers, it was said 'soil moisture initializaition according to the vegetation types',

Dose it mean modifying vegetation types equal to modifying initial soil moisture?

If not, what is the true soil moisture sensitivity run/simulation?

Any suggestion is welcome.

Best regards,

Libin Yan
