【 摘 要 】

This is the Final Report of our four-year (3-year plus one-year no cost extension) collaborative project between the University of Arizona (UA) and the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). The overall objective of our project is to develop and evaluate the first hybrid 3-D hydrological model with a horizontal grid spacing of 1 km for the NCAR Community Earth System Model (CESM). We have made substantial progress in model development and evaluation, computational efficiencies and software engineering, and data development and evaluation, as discussed in Sections 2-4. Section 5 presents our success in data dissemination, while Section 6 discusses the scientific impacts of our work. Section 7 discusses education and mentoring success of our project, while Section 8 lists our relevant DOE services. All peer-reviewed papers that acknowledged this project are listed in Section 9. Highlights of our achievements include: ??? We have finished 20 papers (most published already) on model development and evaluation, computational efficiencies and software engineering, and data development and evaluation ??? The global datasets developed under this project have been permanently archived and publicly available ??? Some of our research results have already been implemented in WRF and CLM ??? Patrick Broxton and Michael Brunke have received their Ph.D. ??? PI Zeng has served on DOE proposal review panels and DOE lab scientific focus area (SFA) review panels
