ECOCLIMAP, A GLOBAL DATABASE OF LAND SURFACE PARAMETERS AT 1KM RESOLUTION  

 J.L. CHAMPEAUX , V. MASSON, F. CHAUVIN

 

METEO-FRANCE/CNRM, 42, Av Coriolis, 31057 Toulouse Cedex, FranceTph : (0)5 61 07 93 55, Fax : (0)5 61 07 96 26, email : [email protected]

  Mots-clé : Landcover,surface parameters, leaf area index, atmospheric models

Input parameters:

• depending on soil- Percentage of sand and clay- Soil depth

• depending on vegetation- Fraction of végétation (VEG)- Leaf area index (LAI)- Minimal stomatal resistance- Rugosity (Z0)

• dépending on soil and vegetation- Albedo- Emissivity

Atmospheric forcing

Project: UPDATE ECOCLIMAP using GLC2000 landcover mapand Corine 2000 for Europe

Contribution of the GLC 2000 land cover map at global scale:- Consistent legend with LCCS classifiers- Good description of the different biomes- Real 1km resolution

The knowledge of regional experts will be very useful to specifythe surface parameters: fraction of vegetation, LAI ……..

THE DATABASE IS AVAILABLE ON THE WEB:

http://www.cnrm.meteo.fr/gmme/PROJETS/ECOCLIMAP/page_ecoclimap.htm

CONCLUSIONS:

• Global database of surface parameters at 1km resolution(minimum) complete, robust and et coherent

• Used in all the operational NWP and research models of Meteo-France: - ARPEGE CLIMAT - ARPEGE NWP - ALADIN - MESO-NH
