FLDAS - Central Asia (LIS7)
FLDAS-CA/GDAS
Central Asia simulations with Noah 3.6 and Noah MP
Model Domain: Central Asia (30-100°E, 21-56°N), Model resolutions: 1 km
Noah 3.6 simulations are restarted on Oct 1st of every year from a 10 year spinup for 1st Oct 2009 in which Snow Water Equivalent is corrected with MODIS observations. Noah MP simulations are continuous run from Oct 1, 2000. Land Surface Models (LSM) are forced with GDAS 6-hourly atmospheric forcing. More details can be found in this document.
