Abstract

The AMMA Land Surface Model Intercomparison Project (ALMIP) was undertaken to increase understanding of the land-atmosphere feedback mechanisms over West Africa. The ALMIP project was undertaken to address the modeling of the land surface component of the West African monsoon (WAM). The objective of the project was to take advantage of the significant international effort of the intensive field campaign and the various modeling efforts to better understand the role of land surface processes in the WAM. The strategy proposed in AMMA involves breaking the various components of the fully coupled system into more manageable portions. The first step was to begin with the Land Surface Model (LSM)in offline mode that was by numerous intercomparison projects. ALMIP results were also being used for numerous mesoscale case studies within AMMA.
