Abstract

A simplified land-surface parameterization is tested against bare-soil data collected during the EFEDA experiment conducted in Spain in June 1991. A complete data set, made up of soil properties as well as hydrological and atmospheric measurements, is described and discussed. The 11-day data set is characterized by very dry conditions and high surface temperatures during the day. Large values of sensible and soil heat fluxes and small values of surface evaporation (≈1 mm/day) were observed. This data set was modelled, leading to the following conclusions:
