Table 1. Summary of Land Surface Information Used in the CEMSYS Simulations


Parameter	Data Source

Aerodynamic roughness	Constant for bare soil, derived from vegetation height and LAI for vegetated surfaces [Raupach, 1994]
Zero-displacement height	Zero for bare soil, derived from vegetation height and LAI for vegetated surfaces [McVicar et al., 1996]
Leaf Area Index	Derived from SeaWiFS normalized difference vegetation index data
Vegetation height	Adapted from Australian Surveying and Land Information Group [1990]
Soil particle-size distribution	Particle-size analysis of selected soil samples
Soil moisture	Soil moisture model integrated into CEMSYS
