Abstract
Land surface processes play an important role in the climate system. In this chapter, some improvements to parameterizations of land surface processes are introduced, including representation of water table dynamics, inclusion of anthropogenic groundwater exploitation, development of a frozen soil model considering the freezing–thawing interface, representation of crop growth, and development of a land surface model. Furthermore, the development of our land data assimilation system will be also described in this chapter.
