Abstract

The land surface and the Earth system models provide for the use of various external data on the parameters of the underlying surface. These parameters serve as coefficients of differential equations for the transfer and transformation of heat, moisture and carbon categories in the surface layer. Modern sets of such parameters are contained in high-resolution geospatial data archives (e.g., 30'') and their use in the model requires aggregation onto a larger grid and coordination of parameters from different archives. Special software was developed to solve this problem. Such a tool makes it possible to create archives of land surface parameters on an arbitrary uniform latitude-longitude grid.
