Effective thermal conductivity of soils (λ eff) is a critical parameter for agriculture,
environment science, and engineering. Functions to estimate λ eff from readily available soil …

The effects of subzero temperatures on soil are varied, influencing a wide range of physical,
biological, and chemical processes. Since the formation of ice in soil requires an …

SURFEX is a new externalized land and ocean surface platform that describes the surface
fluxes and the evolution of four types of surfaces: nature, town, inland water and ocean. It is …

Unsaturated soil mechanics has rapidly become a part of geotechnical engineering practice
as a result of solutions that have emerged to a number of key problems (or challenges). The …

In recent years, significant efforts have been made to upgrade physical processes in the
ISBA‐CTRIP land surface system for use in fully coupled climate studies using the new …

The Common Land Model (CLM) was developed for community use by a grassroots
collaboration of scientists who have an interest in making a general land model available for …

A new method is presented to account for phase changes in a fully implicit numerical model
for coupled heat transport and variably saturated water flow involving conditions both above …

A numerical model is explored which simulates frost heave in saturated, granular, air‐free,
solute‐free soil. It is based on equations developed from fundamental thermomechanical …

Extensions to the land surface scheme (LSS) in the National Centers for Environmental
Prediction, regional, coupled, land‐atmosphere weather prediction model, known as the …

ABSTRACT rozen soil is a major cause of runoff and erosion on many watersheds. Tillage
and crop residue management greatly affect soil freezing but their effects have been nearly …
