02-01-2012: Acceleration of land surface model development over a decade of GLASS. Bart van den Hurk et al, Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society; doi: 10.1175/BAMS-D-11-00007.1

The Global Land Atmosphere System Study has ushered in an era in which LSMs for numerical weather and climate prediction now incorporate complex vegetation responses, detailed hydrology, dynamic snowpack evolution, urban processes, and more. This overview paper gives a historical overview of the GLASS panel activities and its current and future role in land surface model development and evaluation.
