A B Read in site data, initial conditions Calculate Canopy temperatures; adjust weather Calculate snow depth Have measured Snow depth Initialize soil profile Calculate Low veg temperature; soil moisture, temperature, vapor and ice content Have measured surface soil temp Calculate soil strength Read in met data Update soil properties ii More met data Yes ii Calculate surface icing Calculate missing met data No Print results B A Model Flow
Inputs: • Meteorological Data (Dynamic) • WRF forecast at best resolution (AFWA) • Available Weather Observations → AF Combat Wx Team, Army MET upper air, Army tactical obs network • Initial Snow Depth & Density, Ice Thickness • Soil Data (Static) • Number of Layers, Layer Thickness & Type • Initial Moisture & Temperature Profile • Layer material properties (density, porosity,conductivities…) • Vegetation Data (Static) • Type – High and/or Low (classifications based on BATS) • Density, Height • Site Specifics (Static) • Latitude, Longitude, Elevation, Slope, Aspect • Time offset from GMT
Outputs: • Soil Temperature • Soil Moisture – volumetric & gravimetric • Ice Content • Vapor Content • Freeze/Thaw Depth • Surface State (Frozen/Thawed) • Snow Depth & Density • Surface Ice Thickness • Vegetation Temperatures • Surface Energy Fluxes • Mobility specific • Surface Slippery Factor (Wet/Dry/Snow/Ice) • Soil Strength (CI,RCI and CBR)
