American Geophysical Union Meeting, May 22-25, 2007
Goal: Obtain a better understanding of the West African
Monsoon (WAM) on daily to inter-annual timescales. AMMA relies on:
i) the use of extensive observations, notably multi-
sensor remote sensing products, ii) a multi-year field campaign over west Africa, and iii) a coordinated modeling strategy at different spatial
and temporal scales.
AMMA = African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Analysis

American Geophysical Union Meeting, May 22-25, 2007
Importance of the Continental Land surface to the WAM
Surface processes which
influence the atmosphere
and hydrology:
• Significant Meridional
Gradients:
- vegetation
- soil moisture
• Large spatial variability:
- surface runoff, infiltration, flooded areas
- surface fluxes
![Page 4: 1 CNRS, Centre National de Recherches Météorologiques (CNRM / Météo-France, Toulouse)](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062301/56813f60550346895daa2e7c/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
American Geophysical Union Meeting, May 22-25, 2007
ALMIP Science Questions:
• No one scheme perfect: examine ensemble of models (currently 12): Response of different schemes to scale change
• Develop a mult-model climatology of « realistic » high resolution soil moisture, surface fluxes, water and energy budget
• See what improvements needed in SVATs to simulate processes particular to African climate and surface
• Examine how simple SVATs can simulate spatial distribution and inter-annual variability of vegetation
Break various components of complex coupled system into managable portions which can then provide insight into various processes: 1st step Force LSMs in Offline mode

• Correlations between 0.8 and 1.0 over a large part of Sahel (where vegetation signal strongest)
• Exp2 (satellite-based) precipitation improved LAI prediction (and enhanced Evap)
But…
• Montly LAI misses rapid greenup
• Forest regions: MODIS quality questionable AND ISBA-Ags needs work!
• Care must be taken in fully coupled mode!

• ALMIP ongoing: 2006 Forcing to be released and runs using updated forcing (new EPSAT algorithm) to be submitted this summer (Exp2b)
• Complete regional merged and mesoscale atmospheric forcing data (2004): extend through 2006
• Regional scale evaluation data (forcing and for simulations) comparison with AMSR-E, ALMIP-MEB, TRIP 0.5 deg, GRACE…
• 2007-8 Mesoscale Forcing Evaluation of processes using SOP, EOP data
• 1st step towards ALDAS
• Collaboration with WAMME (Lau, Xue), AMMA-CROSS (Guichard, Hourdin, et al)
Parallel actions at CNRM:
• Simulate land surface fluxes, soil moisture, vegetation at various scales
• Compare simulated soil moisture to ARPEGE/assimilation
• NWP/Mesoscale model initialization: CNRM

American Geophysical Union Meeting, May 22-25, 2007
1 Overview
• Influence of soil moisture « memory » on the atmosphere
• Improve regional scale hydrological processes
(sub-grid parameterizations, infiltration, flood planes)
• Determine key processes vegetation functioning (African ecosystems)
• Extend vegetation processes to the regional scale
• Use a multi-scale approach
• Develop a surface flux and soil moisture « climatology » used to study coupling
with atmosphere, improve assimilation systems…
• Intercomparison Project (ALMIP) over region (CESBIO and CNRM)
