Improved Cross‐Scale Snow Cover Simulations by Developing a Scale‐Aware Ground Snow Cover Fraction Parameterization in the Noah‐MP Land Surface Model by Ronnie Abolafia‐Rosenzweig, Cenlin He, Tzu‐Shun Lin, Michael Barlage, Karl Rittger

“…Noah‐MP simulations using the enhanced scale‐aware parameterization remove the baseline WUS surface albedo overestimates of 0.01–0.03 in the 1‐km to 25‐km resolution simulations, relative to Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer retrievals. The Noah‐MP ground SCF and surface albedo improvements due to the scale‐aware parameterization are found across most land cover classifications and elevations, indicating the enhanced ground SCF scheme can improve simulated snowpack and surface energy budget accuracy across a variety of WUS landscapes.…”
